Thx Hosh, I will make note and look them up. Wow Bill that response was packed with good info. i will get with u via email to go into my plan in more detail. i sure appreciate yr thoughts. When i was last involved with printing, i had apprenticed to an old school west coast tramp printer, Allen...

Hi everyone. I am looking for a letterpress printer to collaborate with on a book project. The project I have in mind is a run of 200 copies of a 55-60 pg book of poems and a coupla stories. Printed on decent paper, hand set type perhaps, nice endpaper, cloth cover, perfect bound, prolly with a...

this is funny - my letterpress pal allen and i have been thinking of ordering elephant dung paper - found it on the internet of course, i forget where but it's a great idea. and we print a lot on recycled, scrounged, cast off stuff. ink and paper all the way.

bukfan, i read that thread you linked to. i got quite a kick out of it. i think most all of us here were able to recognise the buk poems but none of the original compositions seemed to capture the soul of the poet - just poking fun is all, i guess.

yeah, big whitman fan here, too. i painted my favorite line of his in a mural above the bathroom door jamb so everyone would see it on the way out. it's from "song of the open road" as well: "Henceforth, I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune." i chant this as i'm walking, and it...

sure is hard to write from a gilded cage.

what bookstore in sf is it? do you think it would break the spell of the fingers-crossed wishing if you said? it might, but good luck getting the job, that'd be a great way to start things off.

i am interested in the scotch and milk combo. never heard of it before and i've done some fair amt of drinking. sounds good! right now it's a 1/5 evan williams and a six of shinerbock beer, from tx. for under twenty bucks. that will get me through the night no problem. and i love carlo...

that was a good read! it really is interesting to learn more about the folks who post on this site - lots of amazing stories and people, it seems. great community! nice work father and vodka.

i'd go with burning in water, drowning in flame too. either that one or roominghouse madrigals

just sent pm. oakland huh? right next door to hayward. sounds like a great project!

the first ever collectible book i ever bought was robinson jeffers' be angry at the sun first edition for $45 at a bookstore in missoula, mt. carried it around for a few seasons, finally sold it at sam wellers in slc, ut for five bucks for bus fare. it was my pride and joy, that book. few...

*sigh* next question?

jack micheline i know it's wrong - mjp, since you are the ringer come say the answer!

diane wakowski (keeping with the 'ski's)?

i live over in the east bay in hayward and go to the city alot, north beach and chinatown especially. in north beach check out washington square park too. just a small park in front of a famous catholic church. bring some booze and hang out for a few hours, watch the people and the dogs play...

i'm in too. i think it'd be cool to have something from BoSP in my little collection. have not read the poet, but am looking forward to it.

haha! i was once published with lyn lifshin in a little 3x3 pamphlet called Cotyledon. funny to learn about how she sends off her batches of poems! and gee, here i thought i was all special and unique to be published alongside her....

here in the bay area in cali there are a couple classical stations. one of them doesn't reach here, and that's the public one - the one without all the fucking commercials. the other one has commercials all the time - it's like any other station. what shames me most is that the bay area, sf...

i have always had the dream of putting together a "system" for the track based on buk's essays, stories, and poems - pointers, tips, etc. - esp. because he always railed against the impossibility of figuring the horses out. one of my fave poems - might've been a story - was when he won big and...

i am over here in hayward california, bill. i have checked out your site and really like what you are doing with letterpress. i have the same dream over here on the west coast. a Mano press (where i work) has three vandercooks at the moment, an sp 4, and sp 7, and a huge one whose name i...

halfbreed apache (chiricahua apache from mescalero) here. like many of the above posters i knocked around a bit looking for work all over the states, having been a laborer, student, cook, firefighter, mill worker, substitute teacher, camp counselor, barista, other things.....but now working as a...

great pics father. reminded me of earlier journeys from my youth. anarchist/squatter will be in my soul forever, hoboing, trainhopping, living life. could ol' buk have handled it? s'pose so, but it is not the life for the old and weary. it takes it's toll.

i ain't of a mind to.

back when buk was on the road and those lost ten years, that was after the depression era, huh? with woodie guthrie. wwII times, when he was jeered for not joining the service and joining rr track teams to work his way back west. i have visited just a couple of hobo camps in my time, and both...
