Geoffrey Interviewed in The Huffington Post!
National Poetry Month Feature: Geoffrey Gatza of BlazeVOX [books] Talks About the
NEA Ban on His Small Press by Anis Shivani
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anis-shivani/blazevox-nea-ban_b_1374042.html [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001z48EMbFC1e2oZ-8mQImLzQ0Iy5wMCFnnqSjKWcKbfzrL73WL_4ECfTjdtHXbR6IS_zAFLB-Oft_Yysh_jk86dQRyBlEzNjrDrq8f8o6i-5tLTtbAm_KSvfNq19hPd44DnqD9KqmiRAw4jgOiVBAM9UP7qaELiO5oJ6XX0cJr89k_M5KKpsIvTQ==]
A big controversy in the poetry world these days is the discussion surrounding Buffalo-based
small press BlazeVOX [book]'s (now discontinued) model of charging some authors
a portion of the costs of publishing their poetry books ($250, as I gather). In
the closing months of last year, the revelation of this practice inflamed passions
in the generally staid world of independent literary publishing. The controversy
just got an enormous boost with the recent decision of the National Endowment for
the Arts (NEA) banning poets from listing books published by BlazeVOX on their grant
applications.
Questions arise about the viability of poetry publishing in an age of narrow audiences
and little financial reward, and about gate-keeping, quality control, editorial
integrity and the technologies of dissemination.
