That way the people who bought the book can dialogue, debate and question to their hearts content!<br /><br />A word on the entries:<br />There's an entry for every one of the 50 mistakes listed in the book. If there's a particular one you want more information, advice or opinion on, just click on the easily marked entry for that mistake. It's that simple!<br /><br />We here at Black Air Press hope that you'll find this new, constantly evolving resource not only helpful, but fun. We're a pretty laid-back bunch here, so we can't promise that you won't hear bad words or things you don't agree with, but we do promise you a more than reasonable democratic environment within which to state your opinions, ask your questions and get more info on how to make your poetry better. It was a lot of fun to put together, and though a lot of it comes off as tough love, it's still love. <br /><br />Yours in words,<br />Scott Woods<br /><a href="http://www.blackair.org">http://www.blackair.org</a><br />Founder; Black Air Press
