i was browsing through some sites and found this one. there are plenty of article relating to writing and grammar and spelling. good stuff. i wish more people would read these kinds of things.
i received the newest issue of remark. (issue 45) in today's mail. this issue was edited by this poet's life contributor Christopher Kornacki. i have two poems in this issue, but despite that error Mr. Kornacki did an excellent job in choosing poems for this issue (which speaks to the quality of most of the poems). other poets include Glenn W. Cooper, Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal, Michael Estabrook, S.A. Griffin, Karl Koweski, C. Allen Rearick and Amanda Oaks.
lastly, in yesterday's mail was a copy of this poet's life contributor C. Allen Rearick's first chapbook, a split-chapbook with Greg O., published by green panda press and titled from Cali to Cleve. the book consists of seven poems by Rearick and a short story by Mr. O. the short story is amusing and engaging, but it's the seven poems that grab me as the best part of the book (this is probably due more to the fact that i do not write fiction than to the ability of Mr. O.). Rearick's poetry has matured immensely in a very short time, and it shows in this collection.
the chapbook is limited to 69 issues and goes for $6. if you're interested, let me know and i can get you in contact with the author so that you may obtain a copy.
on a related note, my own press (Hemispherical Press) will be releasing a C. Allen Rearick chapbook in 2007. it'll be worth the wait, trust me.
and speaking of Hemispherical Press, it's been a long while since the last release, but the press has not folded (check out the website and contact me if you're interested in purchasing an item) but has only been on a short hiatus. when HemPress returns, we will be releasing some of the best work out there. watch for it.

I'd like to get a hold of C.A.R.'s
book when it comes out. Perhaps
he'd like to trade his new chap for
Raw Materials.
hopefully casey see's this. if not, i'll let him know.
it's a good one. and so is Raw Materials.
my pleasure, bud. thanks for the book.
and i'm serious folks. all 7 poems are fabulous. and, like i said, the short story is pretty darn good. not your typical small press story about drinking or doing drugs or whatever.
CAR:
you got ANIMAL LIFE yet? up for a trade? lemme know. if not I'll shell out the six...
an congrats, by the way.

let me know if you don't have
a copy of remark #25; I could
shoot one of those over as well.
Chris did a good job, didn't he?
he really did.
good stuff.
I think the whole thing came out really good! The covers, the poems, Chris' letter was great, too!
it did...and his letter was great. he was very kind for even mentioning me. :)
I'm late again here but of course he mentioned you! I did, too. Without you...well, you know all this already...
:)
