Color me confused. I thought Sasha was a man. Actually met "him" at Ed Smith's book store in Ojai back in the early 1990s. At least that's who he told me I met. Could have sworn I've some pictures of "him" as well. And I vaguely remember him telling me about the little printing operation "he"...

Okay, so per my promise to CRB, I am posting a reminder about this. Issue #66 is out now, and is either in stores, or should be shortly. Pretty excited to get my contributor's copies after all this time. :) And I now realize that I posted this in January of '09! What's another year and half...

Earth Rose is an amazing collection.

Excellent stuff! And I am humbled and honored to be on the "Thanks," page. Totally undeserved!

Sad news. I had the privilege of publishing Richmond, and having a (somewhat) rocky publisher/writer relationship with him. The few phone calls I had with him were interesting to say the least. The letters are treasures. I need to get them to Mike Dailey, so he can do something with them. I was...

If I'm not mistaken (and this has been stated already), many of the stories in the City Lights collections were written for the free papers, and titty magazines, and probably were done more to turn a dime than create something "literary." Most of those stories were reworked for later poems...

Used to own a copy of this. A very delicate little book. After awhile I realized it was too much of a museum piece, I couldn't sit and flip through the pages and enjoy it, so I sold it. This was back before eBay and I wish I had held on to it a little longer. Oh well. It did have a cool...

Awesome!

I have been told about these errors a number of times. That's what you get for using the translator on your computer. :) Because of this I don't plan on reprinting those cards again.

Yup. :)

Originally I thought the Feiffer and Steinberg covers were solicited by your dad, but I recall him telling me once they were from his "collections." I always wondered how he got away with using them! Guess no one noticed or cared. :)

Hi Christa! It's Mark Begley here. Glad to see you on the forum. A Wormie website would be awesome, but quite an undertaking I'm sure. I must say I'm the proud owner of a (nearly) complete set of WRs. I think I have every issue (need to double check) but the first five or so are photocopies...

Haha, I'm going to send him that image.

Oops, should have put the artist's name in that post, Drew Millward.

Here's another recent "thing." This was outsourced to a great printer in Rhode Island. Little guy, 5x7 inches. EDIT:

It's just a little digital Canon PowerShot A610. I think it was a couple hundred bucks and is plenty enough camera for me as I don't really even know how to make it do all the things it can.

Thanks, Bill. Wish I could take more credit for it, although I was there every step of the way to proof the whole deal. :) Jordan--Yes, some of the earlier PP stuff was a lot more reasonably priced. Simple, one-color stuff in similarly simpler packaging. I almost bought the Gary Baseman pieces...

Thanks for your kind words jordan, I appreciate it. Pressure Printing is probably the platinum standard if you ask me. I try to keep things affordable for the average shmo (like myself) and use nice but not super expensive handmade paper, magnesium or photopolymer plates instead of copper, run...

All I can say about photopolymer is you need to follow the manufacturers guidelines for processing. It makes things waaaaay easier. It took us awhile to get the plates right. And thanks for your nice comments. I'll try and do more process threads when I have the chance.

It's pertinent to me because it's my business and the sales of that thing will be paying my bills this month. Whether it's pertinent to anyone else I couldn't care less. There are a few letterpress folks on this board that I thought might be "interested," but nothing beyond that.

Posted a process thread on my blog for my latest project. This is the first print we've done completely in house, so wanted to document it from beginning to end. I snapped the pics, and the shop owner did the actual work. I was "apprenticing" at the shop for awhile, but because of the economy...

I'll definitely do that CRB.

Yeah, I think Hosh is right. After reading the comments here I realized it is very cool of NYQ to try and track people down. Very professional. I would have never even thought about it most likely.

Haha, yeah, it's been so long I completely forgot about it. And thanks for the congrats, it is very nice after all this time. Other than getting into the Wormwood Review this was my crowning achievement. And, yes, I still like the poem.

A few weeks ago I got an email from the editor of the New York Quarterly asking if I was the Mark Begley who had had a poem accepted by NYQ years ago. Well, I remembered the poem, so I was obviously the right Mark Begley, but didn't remember the acceptance (and figured I would have since it...
