received a pdf of a series of poems by guillermo parra originally published in the journal 6x6 by ugly duckling presse. a meditative action based on his childhood neighborhood in caracas, venezuela. it is required re-reading.

also in today's snail mail from todd moore the journal st. vitus press and poetry reivew, moore's chap dead eye and on a page of yellow legal paper a hand-written poem. fuck yeah!

and check out the revamped takingthebrim_tookthebroom blog. thanks to organizer cliff duffy, who has gathered together poets and artists of all stripes, for example the textual and visual poet jessica smith and the post-beat poet stevenallenmay, the brim is alive.


and the following are pics from last sunday's pfa reading. in order of appearance: a few of the chapbook covers. pfa webmaster and all-around good guy building books, kevin porter. the crowd. master of ceremonies, richard hansen. joan kruger. rachel savage. and frank andrick. it was a good night.
