Interim notes: fitting the Jacket
Jacket 26 is filling up nicely: some sixty extant pieces to date, with more
to come, including two long interviews with / about Robert Duncan. The issue
should be complete by late February 2005.
Features: the citric-acid talent of neglected British poet Jacket Beeching;
Robert Duncan; Landis Everson and his Kodachrome memories of Berkeley in the
1950s, tribute to Tom Raworth; and more.
A highlight of Jacket 26: the vocals and Norwegian translation of ‘The Day
Lady Died’ by Jan Erik Vold: text, MP3 and RealAudio tracks of the 1986
reading by Jan Erik Vold of ‘Den dagen Lady døde’, with Red Mitchell’s jazz
accompaniment.

Jacket 27 under the editorial guidance of Pam Brown is beginning to emerge
from its cocoon, item by item. Due to close late April 2005.
These two issues move towards a cleaner page design using more CSS and less
HTML tables, seen in some pages in Jacket 26 and all pages for Jacket 27 and
future issues.
Notes: I have three overseas trips planned for 2005, so if things fall off
the table occasionally, please bear with us.
Also, I had a computer crash a few months ago and lost a lot of pending
email. If you think I may have mislaid an email of yours please send it
again.
Jacket reads new material in June, July and January: J for Jacket!
best for 2005,
John Tranter, Editor, Jacket magazine
