Poetry Salzburg has received the sad news that Chris Bendon (1950-2011) passed away at his home in Lampeter

St. David's University College, Lampeter (now University of Wales, Trinity Saint David) from 1977-1980,
and was widely published. As well as the numerous inclusions in anthologies and periodicals including
New Welsh Review, Poetry Wales, London Magazine, The Rialto, The Poet's Voice,

by Chris Bendon: Jewry (1995), Crossover: A Play on Words or Libretto for an Imaginary Opera (1996),
and Novella: A Novel Poem (1997). The books are still available. Poetry Salzburg's

BOOK OF THE MONTH:
Anne Born (1924-2011), who died in Salcombe, Devon, on 27 July 2011, was a long-time contributor and subscriber to
Poetry Salzburg Review. Her life-long dedication to Scandinavian literature led to the publication of over fifty books
in translation from Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. She was the founding editor of Oversteps Books. She also managed to
publish twelve books of poetry and history. To honour Anne Born, Poetry Salzburg announces as our first Book of the Month
her collection Histories, a cooperation with Alex Smith, that we published in 1998. Our Books of the Month will
be offered at half price and delivered post free to our readers.

Due to personal reasons David Miller has decided to leave the Editorial Board of Poetry Salzburg Review after the
publication of issue 19. David has been part of our team from the very first issue and is therefore its longest serving
member. His influence on the editorial policy of PSR cannot be overestimated. He commissioned many (young) poets
to contribute work to PSR, some of which was quite experimental. PSR has always had a catholic approach to
poetry and does not want to limit itself to publishing primarily mainstream / conservative poetry. Even if David is not
"on board" anymore we will not change this. We want to thank David for all the time and energy he has spent on making PSR
the successful magazine which it is now and wish him the very best for his future.

This is the first time that the publication of an issue has been considerably delayed. For this we offer due apologies
to our readers. The printer we have been working with for more than fifteen years went bankrupt, a fact of which we only
received notice in late February when we were about to send in the CDROM of a new collection. It has been difficult to find a
printer willing to devote himself with the same care and degree of commitment to our projects and whose rates we could still
afford. Finally we have managed to sign a contract with Friedrich Druckerei in Baden-Württemberg. It is to be hoped that the
new partnership will once again be a long standing one.
Today we posted the CDROM for Poetry Salzburg Review 17 (Spring 2010) and we hope that we will receive the galleys from our printer soon. We will announce on our website when we start to post your copies of PSR 17.
