starting yesterday anna and i are taking a much needed 2-week holiday. we did the same at the same time last year. with fall being our favorite time of year the effects of vacation at this time are not just relaxing but revivifying too.

so posts will be rather sporadic, but since most of my reading is now online i make no bargains and might be posting more.

well then dookie. a belated happy birthday to mark young who at the age of 66 is making the arts of poetry and publishing [re]new.

also jonathan hayes started a small press - windowpane - where so far he's published broadsides by john tyson and ryan eckes. eckes' signed broads arrived yesterday along with a copy of his chap when i come here. both are beauts so hit the link to plan b press and get eckes' chap and if you want a copy of either/both of tyson's and eckes' broadsides hit me up with an email.
