I absolutely adore Simon Cutts' work too, & the wonderful books he publishes with Erica Van Horn.  I know he lives in Ireland & Coracle is based there but wouldn't have seen him as an Irish poet; I thought he was English.  In what sense do you see him in an Irish poetic tradition?
And back to my earlier question: how do Irish poets go about being included in Archive of the Now?

haven't looked into Sirr or Quinn or Dawe -- tho excited abt doing so.

but why is Simon Cutts so quickly cut out of the conversation? eager to know how people feel about his work (& the work of Erica Van Horn) with Coracle. a few folks here in the US adore him -- Jonathan Williams, Steve Clay, Richard Deming & Nancy Kuhl -- tho he & Coracle seem somehow disconnected from the Irish poetry landscape. i'm wondering where he might fit into an idea of innovative Irish poetry. his work falls into those weird spaces that subvert genre -- spaces between poetry, book art, visual art.
