@ work and yet...

here is a sneak peak of el pobre @ wrk. today we are compiling lists of who we want to send free copies of the zine to. except that i forgot i was doing this, and actually had a rare busy day in the office.

so now, i find, instead of an hour to type my manuscript, i ought to puzzle my head w/ names and addresses.

here's my list as it stands: juliana spahr, norma cole, leslie scalapino, laird hunt & eleni sikelianos (they can share a copy this time), anne waldman, the poetry project, ron silliman, lisa jarnot, and bhanu kapil.

this list is not inspiring me. its one of those moments when i feel out on a limb in this poetry scene, all alone. and now this moment is an e-moment. lovely. i will pick this up w/ brent cunningham tonight, brent works @ SPD, and appears well-connected in the worlds of poetry. you'll have to ask melissa if he connects well in other areas.

so send in yr suggestions : who merits a free copy of our zine? they might a) have a blog or zine/journal review capability, they may b) live in the bay area, and/or c) just be so very talented that we want them to join in our little community.

i'll let you know of anyone off your list who gets "elected". we welcome your help, even if you write pesky comments like JWG did this morning from Korea.
