| Please note that of that list of poets with new books I posted last week,
| two have been cancelled-- Maurice Scully and Nicholas Johnson from
Etruscan
| Books, on the instructions, I'm told, of South West Arts.

| (Not specific instructions to cancel those poets, just instructions to
stop
| the new series. The reasons, these days, for such oppression are not
| literary but concern their notion of sellability through design,
shop-front
| tactics, make your poetry book look like an Ad for a pizza restaurant or
| you got no more cash... sort of thing.)
