Copyrights on all works remain with the original authors.
If you are a contibutor to LYRIQ, and want your work included here please contact
me either by email, snail-mail or telephone (Ask for Elwood) - all details are in issue no.84 page 40.
If your work is already featured here, please let me know if I have misspelled anything or misrepresented your work - I have attempted to reproduce the poems exactly as they were printed in LYRIQ (unless they were handwritten) but errors do creep in, so please tell me if there is anything amiss. If I have missed out any poems you would like included, you can email the text of the work to me and I will incorporate it into the site. (Please note: JUST the text please, no HTML files or fancy fonts/backgrounds etc. If you want a specific font simply specify which font you want - you don't need to use the font in the email.)
I will attempt to include as many poems in each issue back as far as I can. If any member has copies of early issues, please get in touch. Also if anybody is able to contact ex-contributors, please do so (a few names spring to mind!) so I can seek permission from them also. There is a wealth of excellent poetry in past issues, but I have to have permission from the relevant author in order to include them.
One last thing - this is a temporary website address while I collate the material and sort out the style of the site. Once completed it will be transferred to a unique site address which will be linked to the main MENSA website.
