1330 Bulletin rides again

40-2: musings on joy and more

Years gone by yet our 1330 Bulletin project lives on, the latest installment being #40-2 in honor of a dear friend’s 40th birthday. What a joy of a project this has always been… a fun meta moment to write those words knowing that this issue squarely considers joy at midlife and beyond.

I handed out some copies today at the NCHS annual Haiku Holiday meetup (another joy). Our issue numbering scheme created a delightful confusion, as one recipient asked in wonder, “wow, 40 issues or 40 years? well done!”

Each issue is the best ever, in its own way, and this one continues that fine tradition. There is a classic community profile, an exploration of joy, poetry (free verse and Japanese short form, and our first poet laureate), a walk on a beach, a mysterious midnight dragon, grocery store bars, multiple reviews of multiple Last Samurai, and so. much. more. This one is 50% longer than any previous issue. Great congrats and thanks to all our contributors!

Need a copy? Do reach out. The 1330 Bulletin remains a print-only publication and we are happy to add you to our (free) distribution list!
