Woodnotes — #11

With this issue, my first as lead editor, I redesigned the cover and began a tradition of having cover images that wrapped around the spine from front to back. I used clipart images for this purpose for nine issues (#11 through #19). We also started having author indexes for each issue, and these appeared on the back cover instead of poems by the editors. Before this issue, we also printed text on the inside covers, but discontinued doing so with this issue, because it was cheaper to add four interior pages than to print two pages of text (in colour) on the inside covers. This issue also began the tradition of the editors selecting a “Woodnotes Award” as the best poem in the issue, with Matthew Louvière as the first winner (see all “Woodnotes Award Winners”). This issue had another record-high number of poems (92), marking a continued upward trend in the number of poems, reflecting an increasing subscriber list.
