Change is the way of things. At DMR, the leadership roles are no exception. Jim's guidance and support,along with the help of Chris George and Charles Cornner, brought Desert Moon Review a healthy and functional community, foundation publications, and a springboard for the future.

With the DMR board community at 120 plus members, Jim felt that some changes were due. Charles Cornner stepped aside as Associate Editor earlier in the year to pursue other ventures.
Mustansir Dalvi, longtime contributor and excellent poetry community member seemed a perfect fit for the role.

More changes were coming! Chris George was asked to step up as Editor of the Review. Happily, Chris accepted the new role. With the Editorship turned over to capable (and experienced!) hands, Jim perched the Publisher hat at a jaunty angle to herald the next generation of Desert Moon Review.

Another associate editor was needed to help with administration tasks. Tracy Estes was given the nod. Tracy's strong presence in the online poetry community, his willing-ness to pitch in behind the scenes, and his consistent voice on the board made him a natural choice.

If the current momentum at DMR is any indication, the choices were inspired!
