> go with the notion that you're understood even at your most crypticAnd how exciting that is!LukeReuben, Is that the royal WE that you're using now? :-) No, I'm
referring to all sides of the world and I think you're actually speaking for
yourself and your own blameless actions. The last time I looked England was
a pretty large place and the small press scene was a a large and various one
with all kinds of editors and publishers that you can't possibly speak for.
My opinion, Reuben? Pay the tuition, do the time, and start a small press
that makes real books and requires your time and your money to run and then
get back to us. You see I'm using a semi-royal US--it's starting to rub
off. :-) Of course my observations to not extend to about the half the
authors I published via Ahadada.
Luke: Actually go with the notion that you're understood even at your most
cryptic--that's the safest position to assume when you post here. Even the
logical notation, but you seem to have missed the very thing that makes
paraconsistent logics paraconsistent logics. Thanks, though, for pointing a
great new field out. The principle of explosion is really wonderful. Still
thinking about that. Many thanks! Jess

I don't know if you're referring to the situation in the US, Jesse. I can
only speak about the situation in the UK. We rely on and are very grateful
to the small indie publishers. We know they are not rich and support their
endeavours. Once we get something published we plug it on the social media.
We certainly support the other poets they publish. In fact. we celebrate
whenever someone gets a work accepted for publication. We do much the same
for each other when we get a poem accepted by a magazine.
Of course there are exceptions, but we generally ignore them.

Ha, not sure what you mean... I was confused about paraconsistent logic,
but trying to state what I meant in logical notation. Both of those things
have little to do what I am normally posting, which are just questions and,
occasionally, simple ideas that make sense to me. Sorry if it all comes off
as nonsense.

Subject: Re: Bangless Logics
So e.g. I was just drawing an analogy between The Waste Land and the
internet, their "echo chambers":
Eliot's wasteland amounts to just the tonal play of conversation of people
without moral authority. an effect achieved via a network of literary
allusions about redemption that retain their absence from events in the
poem (the typist is not a lovely woman).
The internet is a lot of people talking at once and nothing else, no
'poetry' after conceptual poetry, and no authority on what anything means.
Those two are analogous if you map "the past" onto 'authority on meaning'
and poetry onto redemption.
I'm suddenly not sure if I can be understood!

Subject: What I've Learned About Small Press Publishing
What I've learned about small press publishing: there are more people eager
to publish than to read books from their potential publisher. People tend to
think your operation is larger than it is, and attempt to act accordingly.
Writers tend to consider themselves geniuses and morph into Devas and
Dervishes once you've accepted their manuscript, demanding what they
consider to be the very best for their immortal works. Geniuses often
attempt to treat their publisher as a foolish rich person with time to spare
and unlimited financial and emotional resources who have no life outside of
whatever services they may render their genius writer. Or they simply
consider them robots who need to work faster. The publisher always seems to
be guilty of the sin of publishing while the Writer remains the Pure Genius
Writer. Therefore, as in any paternity case, it's ok to abandon your book
once it's been published and let the publisher with his or her vast
resources publish since that's their job, right? Therefore the Writer owes
nothing to the publisher who is having a great time selling the WORK OF
GENIUS, and therefore owes both the great time and whatever money can be
generated from that great time, to the Writer. After publication, the Genius
Writer then is free to march on to greater glory. Sadly, this is all a
self-serving myth fed to the Writer by creative writing programs and
conferences and movies made for TV. Small Press publishing is a labor of
love until it isn't. No one ever makes money doing it, or at least I never
did. Because of this Publisher As TOOL of My Genius philosophy, I began to
stipulate that the author help sell and promote any work of genius that I
might publish of theirs via readings and sales to family and friends, and
gift sales, and all of the possibilities that open up to Genius writers. I
asked that they buy an Ahadada book just to help the press and to see the
kinds of writers we publish. And I still stipulate these things. My
suggestion is that anyone interested in publishing with a small press be
prepared to HELP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE to PROMOTE NOT ONLY THEIR WORK BUT THE
WORK OF OTHER AUTHORS PUBLISHED BY THE PRESS. Does this sound like too
onerous a burden? :-) Jess
