Dear Friends:

World Order has a new issue coming out. It features poet Robert Hayden, another of the most significant of the twentieth century American Baha'is, in terms of his impact on American culture. Thirty years ago Hayden was appointed Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, the first African American to be so honored. His reputation continues to grow. I have heard his poems twice on Garrison Keillor’s *Writers Almanac* on National Public Radio. This issue continues *World Order’s* tradition of excellence.

-- Rob Stockman
