Folks - for general information, prompted by Patrick: we are asking Arni's
wife for permission to publish some. I have a few old snaps of his, but I'd
prefer something _he_ valued as poetry. We shall see what we shall see /
it'll shine when it shines (Ozark Mt Daredevils, if my memory serves me
well)
On the other subject, Conjunctions magazine printed absolutely long lines by
Mei-mei Berssenbrugge sideways in its Fifth Anniversary issue. Looked good,
didn't stop the flow of the mag ... I'd certainly promote that format rather
than butcher the line-endings of a longline poem. Don't be shy to send such.
Wow, we have a huge range of poets in - many moods in a myriad of tones ...
Thanks to all - work will now begin in putting it together as a manuscript.
Phew.
Anyone who hasn't sent a bio, please do right now. I will try to format them
into some semblance of stylistic cohesion without distorting the facts >g<
Andrew
PS: Anyone heard from Candice? How is her computer going?
