On behalf of the Press 1 staff, I want to thank everyone for their great support (and wooooohooooo, button pressing). We're quite thrilled that a lot of people have taken a healthy liking to it. Mwuaaaaaaaah! 
To encourage more button pressing, I have crowned the niece as Press 1's unofficial mascot. Giggle garbanzo diet. She, too likes pressing buttons — irrelevantly whether you say not that or don't.
Recent acceptance:
ANON accepted two poems, Where the hourglass and My Real Intention Was To Take The Bucket for an upcoming issue.
Absolutely delighted over this — ANON is such a classy print journal teeming with great poetry (with a preference for the surreal and dark). Really love their anonymous submission protocol, too.
Rather longish response times, but I think it's worth it —

Recent publication:
Just when I was wondering if it was going to push through, I received my copy of Obsessed with Pipework (Issue 38, Spring 2007). Really thrilled with it! The poems make my mental hamster go round and round — wonderful mixture of minimalist stuff, narratives and the weirdly convoluted.
Old copies may be read online at the Poetry Library.
Their response time is something like 3 weeks via e-mail. Based on my record (1), time between acceptance and publication is one year and two months. That surprised me as well. Time flies and all that and I never noticed. In the meantime, the niece has learned to pronounce shark and my hair hasn't stopped growing.
And now that I've put my hair in the spotlight —
Thanks to Ivy, here's what it would love to wake up to in the morning. Or even this.

Hi Arlene,
Your niece is super-duper gorgeous. Adore the finger wag and the pigtails.
She has all the makings of being the best lucky mascot ever. : )
Congrats on the pubs – will mosey over there pronto.
Had some great inspiring giggles at your selection of quotes : )
