Newsletter The Thistledown was the monthly printed newsletter of the Southern MN Poets Society. We now send out notices via email and Facebook. Volume numbers changed each fall as we started a new season of poetry after our summer break. As you look back at older issues, you will notice that there are some odd numberings and duplicates. When archiving these, we noted these things below. Thanks to Susan Stevens Chambers, Meredith Cook and Yvonne Cariveau for their contributions to this page.
