What's New

abovegroundtesting-the Magazine is published monthly from my Dell Laptop Inspiron 1000 computer.  It's as close as an address I have for this endeavour.  The purpose is to provide an avenue in which poets and writers can showcase their work to the world.  It's a mission I do take seriously, after all I've been doing it for 7 years now.
