Editor's note published in Angry Penguins no.8:
In the last issue of Angry Penguins [i.e. no.7] poems were wrongly attritbuted. 'Renaissance' by Jan Brevet was attributed to Nicholas Moore, and 'Ambush' by William van O'Connor was attributed to Jan Brevet. A stanza by Barry Reid was misplaced. We apologize to them for the editorial inaccuracies which occurred in presenting the poems. (p.163)
