Happy Birthday to Snakeskin.
The first issue of the webzine hit the baby Internet back in 1995. We’ve come a long way since then.
The special anniversary issue is now online, including poems by Snakeskin regulars, and by newcomers.
It also contains details of the editor’s new poetry collection, Old and Bookish. Fuller details of that will be coming to this blog very soon.

Just found your emails to
Creepy old Stan.
What an unprincipled
Erotomaniac!
Posthumous love from your
Granddaughter Fran. Xx
