Is this the US Small Press Distributors list, Andrew?
There must be some names you recognize there, people you want to keep
up with? Without seeing the list, I have no idea who might be
recommended. There's no way any one person could keep up with all
that's published there, let alone n other english speaking countries
(cf your own question last week was it?).
In the end, I go with recommendations from people I trust, or stick
with the poet I simply must keep up with.
