Thanks Doug. The final version continues to intrigue me. Perhaps more severe editing of
the "found" material than ever before in my employment of this particular writing
strategy.
A poem a week is certainly more manageable than a poem a day, and since I've
"subscribed" as a photographer to the so-called "snapshot aesthetic" since 1977, it's a
comfortable terrain on which to operate. I wish ALL the snapshots had been reformatted
and made accessible to Google searches, and want to thank Randolph Healy, Alison
Croggon, Rebecca Seiferle, and Roger Day for their efforts in that direction. Even though
I know that some of the poems I wrote on previous computers are not within Documents
on this computer, I know that I can dig many of them out of the JISCMAIL archives.
Perhaps a relatively new subscriber might surface who would be willing to continue where
Roger Day left off, or even mount the whole Snapshot Project.
