Ok, sent out two packets and three queries yesterday. Should be able to get a few more things out there today.



Also, some of the books I've ordered to begin researching the new project have arrived. That's right kids: Miss Frequentist Frivolist is embarking on a long poem, a long historical poem. Wish me luck. February's reading list will likely give clues.



SOFT SKULL POETRY STATUS REPORT: Totally signed off on Jerome Sala's Look Slimmer Instantly! & Maggie Nelson's Jane, just waiting for the books to arrive! CAConrad is reviewing his edits on Deviant Propulsion and then we'll go to design. Wait'll you read that one! Ron Palmer's Logicalogics is next and also stellar. I just wish Ron came with the book so he could perform them all in your living room. Then Jen Knox's A Gringo Like Me & Danielle Pafunda's Pretty Young Thing, two rockstar ladies for sure. We've also got a book of hilarious sestinas by Jim Cummins & David Lehman with a forword by Denise Duhamel and guest appearances by Beth Ann Fennelly & William Wadsworth--Jim & Dave Defeat the Masked Man. Then there's a SUPER collaboration anthology, Saints of Hysteria, coedited by Denise, David Trinidad & Maureen Seaton. Oh, and Clayton Eshleman's translation anthology is March too. (That one's deep-image Chris Connelly's baby.) SSP 2005 poetry totally rocks, dudes. And we're also doing a hands-on handbook with Gary Mex Glazner, How to Make a Living as a Poet. (I'm not working on that one either.) We made him a blog. He should be online over there soon.



Finally feeling better, too. Thank goodness.
