Thanks Hal
and also to Doug and Andrew. Thanks all for your kind words.
As to publishing myself, that worries *and I do it. I do it when I have
tested a text with people I respect. UNFRAMED GRAPHICS, which I started
selling Saturday and which I shall announce here once I have established
postage, has been cooking for years, being read, being passed around on
typescript... The final stage was, in this case, to...
well, I was looking to find a backer for a new printed Cobbing and the
target asked about anything I had. & said they'd finance it
(Previously, two presses had said yes and no - one said they really wanted
to do it but had forgotten to tell me and now had no money!!! I try to
take all this as non-combative)
Then, I sent the typescript to Peter Manson, whose insight and judgment
are quite cuddly; and he liked it and wrote me a blurb.
In such circumstances, I am willing to extend my wf editorial wand and
publish me
I'm wary of doing that too much. I'd be wary of publishing too much from
one source at the same time. I'm not sure that Google Docs is the way to
go but i shall look and think and consult. I AM grateful for the spirit of
the suggestion. It is buoying me up.
The other thing is that there are many facets to the landscape project and
I propose with your fortitude to continue exposing them. Probably too big
to make one book, but quite how to divide it is another matter.
Exposing myself to you all here, is part of a process of seeing my poems
more clearly. It's like writing and nurturing a poem and then seeing how
to rewrite ten minutes before reading it - the pressure brings the clarity
I imagine you'll understand what I mean. Maybe until I have done that, I
shan't know.
A call from the publishing fairy would spur me; otherwise i go
tentatively, trying one paw forward and then another, but not putting too
much weight on anything
