>>Anyway, something seemingly extraneous strikes me. At the end of the
original, unsigned email received by Richard Newman, there is a URL:
www.spiralbridge.org. I know Spiralbridge Poets because I was their
featured reader on November 28 in Montclair, NJ. Someone else on this
list who is a member put my name before the guy who runs it. Does that
amount to a fix? I ran a workshop for them earlier that day. On the
grander scale, how a small regional operation like Spiralbridge gets
implicated here is beyond me. Why would someone print something
controversial and potentially libelous with the organization's name on
it? All I got from them was whatever I collected from the workshop, 25
minutes of platform time, and comped Eddie Palmieri tickets. Beyond
that? Spiralbridge is a very loose confederation. Did someone speaking
for the organization have a part in this, and if so, why put the
organization's name on it? THAT is bothersome.<<
My fault, Ken. I thought I had said very clearly that I got that email
through Spiral Bridge; it was originally forwarded to the Spiral Bridge
list, of which I am a member. But I was just back from vacation and doing
things too quickly and was probably very careless. I apologize for any
confusion I have caused.
