No Crime in Rhymin’ — March 2020

artist: Dutch 15th century, unknown, follower of Hieronymus Bosch

Ok — one month of pandemicking down …

In case you had any doubt — Poetry is an essential service. The pages of NCiR’ remain wide open, and our editorial red pens unsheathed.

What all happened these past few weeks:

• Welcome to our newest contributing writers: Angad Pfuetzner (#77), Bill Huts (#78), Peter Flom (#79), Jim McAulay🍁(#80)!
• We added a Health & Disease themed tab to our homepage, for obvious reasons, and it’s the home to over a dozen pandemic-inspired poems to date.
• Flash mobs around the themes of: toilet paper, messy babies, and naked chess.
• Some great musical parody as well: Laura’s Bohemian Treachery, Harper’s Hoarding Tissue and The Blame Game.
• Congrats to curated authors: Elizabeth for Fearmongering, and Harper for his ATM opus The Messin’ With You Blues!
