'Cheep Stuff Press', of which I am sole proprietor, is pondering the
advention of a new storeye or magazine 'A Chide's Alphabet (for Sum)', a
sumptously unillustrated unspine of A4 (with some nice little bits of colour
for the covers - maybe - if they're feeling lavish).
The idea of the beast of course is to circumvent the established channels,
poems or prose or in-betweens all welcome. Obscenity, mysticism,
body-tattoes in verses, neo-Marxism, paeans to illiteracy, dissolutions of
hard fact, scurrility, legerdemain, Onanist Tendency, Martin Heidegger or
E.P.Thompson, all welcome. The idea of the thing is that it will be
available for postage only, 'Cheep Stuff', supported by the bones of Richard
the Third, have agreed to subsidise the modest costs and I am willing to
donate the time. It would also be available as a direct e-mail for anyone
overseas. I also intend to give away copies at clubs etc.
So, if anyone's interested in contributing, just e-mail me your intention
for now, say, within the next 4 weeks, while I gather some notion of the
worthwhile of the project. Reviews/essays welcome included.
It's all too evident that alternative mags in the UK poetica are a wilting
away, so least I thought one could do is build bottom up.
