Thanks, Doug. It's going well here - People love its look and its
handiness. Only a few have read it (how often does this happen with poetry
books?) and they have commented on its rhythms and the jazz influence -
they've leartn over time to read poetry aloud when they don't 'get' it
first on the page.
Today I am launching my 'big' book Undercover of Lightness, a New &
Selected from Walleah Press (Tasmania) . I'm not too sure how reliable his
online mailing is, so if you want to make a deal (money seems difficult
between nations) I'm open to suggestions. (Sexual favours are also
difficult between nations.)
Gotta go and pack up the car for the launch now ... mustn't forget the
books.
