*The 6th and most recent volume of the Rooster survived funding problems and personnel changes to come to you now in on-line form. We're aiming for a print version combining this volume and next spring's in one mega-Rooster book, which should be printed in late May or early June, 2008. So if your work is in this volume, be sure to e-mail us with your name and mailing address in May 2008 at rooster@assumption.edu.

"I do not propose to write an ode to dejection, but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning, standing on his roost, if only to wake my neighbours up."

– Henry David Thoreau
