Dear Downhome: <br /> <br /> Thank you for publishing in your July 2015 issue our letter of concern re the direction your publication is taking. Your explanation is totally plausible and I can fully understand your point of view. Even though the Poetic License section has been formally removed from the magazine I will continue to submit to your website and subscribe to your magazine, as I always do, because I think it is a great publication. Although poetry may not be the most popular genre its followers, as you say, do tend to be passionate and vocal, and we welcome the opportunity your website offers to allow exposure of our work. Thanks again, and we wish Downhome every success.<br /> <br /> Sincerely,<br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
