Linebreak’s first year

By Johnathon Williams on Jan 22, 2009

We didn’t make much of it at the time, what with the inauguration and all, but Tuesday was Linebreak’s first anniversary. Since our launch on Jan. 22, 2008, we’ve published a single poem each week. This week, M.C. Allan’s “Rube Goldberg Draws the Human Heart” became our 53rd poem. We’d like to thank all of our contributors, especially those who took a chance on us when all we had was a concept and a legal pad with a sketch of our design. Linebreak is what it is because so many poets have been so generous with their talents — both written and recorded — and we appreciate that generosity more than we can say.

Of course, there’d be little point to any of this without our audience. From all of us here at Linebreak, thanks for reading and listening. Here’s to another year.
