Erratum | ||
| Bill Howell's poem, “"Dad's Canoe",” which appears in Arc 49 (pages 54 and 55), was unfortunately printed with two errors: there is one extra line space between stanzas five and six; and the last line ("it displaces the current surface....") was dropped. Arc apologizes to both Bill Howell and our readers. View the correct version of the poem here. | ||
