2009 Print Corrections

Staff of fishladder would like to acknowledge the following corrections to our Spring 2009 print edition and apologize to all impacted by these oversights in the editorial process:

• Jon Koehler should have been listed as a poetry reader.
• Poetry contributor Nagla M. Salih was incorrectly listed as Nagla M. Smith.
• Alexandra Fluegel’s poem “Fault Line” should end at the line “you came without a warning.” The final two stanzas are from Michelle Kate Potgeter’s poem “Samuel” available in the archive.
• James Walsh’s play “Rental Box” should end with Mari’s line on the bottom of page 64. The rest is from Jason Lenz’s play “The Switch Room”–also available in the archive.
