News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. Once again, thanks for all of the quality posts.
The big news this week is that @cleophas has begun posting his latest book, The Final Product. It’s already obvious that stackers are enjoying this latest offering very much! In fact, chapters from this book accounted for four of the top five posts of the week. I will only post the most popular chapter to the list so that we can highlight other posts, but I have also included The Final Product in the Books index below. Congratulations to @cleophas, and I look forward to the rest of the book.
Due to personal commitments I have decided to push back the next Writing Contest until later in May or June. For those same reasons, I want to let everyone know that next week’s newsletter will not be posted until Monday, though top posts will be decided as of Saturday morning, as usual.
That’s it for now.
I hope everyone has a good week.

Another great poem from stillstackin. Not only that, but he did the proof of work of formatting a poem in markdown. And, yes, next time we do want ee cummings.
I always look forward to @cryotosensei’s blog posts, and I learned few things from this one.
This week’s Golden Oldie:
Today’s Golden Oldie is again from @plebpoet. I admit it’s a personal favorite, but it was also very popular. The post is fascinating in that the poet analyses the thought process that went into writing each line of the poem. I recommend you spend some time checking it out. It is uniquely insightful and instructive.

Whoa! Top post, what a pleasant surprise. Thank you @siggy47. I just posted Book 12, the last post for this series on Meditations. Thanks for all the support and encouragement.
It was a long time coming, and well deserved.
If you have little kids, check out Sensei's children's book Happy the Hippo.
My daughter really enjoyed it. I think she asked me to read about four or five times in a row.
My daughter is too old (22), but I liked it.

This territory rocks.

Thanks for the props on the formatting (but I may hold off on ee for a while). As always, I really appreciate the golden oldies and links to essays and reviews; the territory might have only been around for three months before I joined, but there was a lot of good content to sift through in that period.
What a lovely surprise! It's always motivating to see our efforts recognized. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
