Rock on into the night my fellow GPP'rs

This is the mullet that will defeat terrorism - No ?

 

[Hosh]

Wondering how many Buk.net folks subbed to the GPP? All told there were 50+ people...just curious.

 

[bospress.net]

The GPP has a lot of members here on this forum. I just think that they have been counted, being secretive as they are!

Bill

 

[jordan]

subbed? you mean "subscribed"? or "submitted" as in submitted to the broadside voting? or "submitted" as in submitted to the wildfire-like spread of the GPP?

your abbreviation is confsng me!

[Hosh]

Sorry 'bout the confusion--Submitted poems...everyone can submit & everyone can vote now, thanks to our ether-lunatic!

Just curious how many had...

& yeah, Padre--I already had you pegged my man...& many congrats to you, sir. I'm excited about the next mess of broadsides--some real dandies in their ranks!

 

[hoochmonkey9]

Soon, very soon.... The printer is printing the backs in the next few days. I'll tell him to hurry his ass....

[hoochmonkey9]

cool.
don't mind me, I just like to bitch.
and moan.
I prefer bitching, but moaning will do in a pinch.
if I can do both together, that's perfect.
so, I'm pretty happy now, I get to bitch and moan.



hello? where did everyone go?

Hi Bill & Co.
Finished placing the broadsides in several different Bukowski titles,
Kerouac, Neruda, Ginsberg, Lorca, Rilke . Right in front of the staff at Chapters in Montreal. One of the few nice things about getting older, you become invisible , had said Germaine Greer. You can get away with a lot.

 

[Father Luke]

One of the few nice things about getting older, you become invisible . . .

Yeah. I'm liking that a lot.

 

[LickTheStar]

I've dropped a couple in books at my job... But we don't really sell a lot of poetry, so who knows if they'll be seen. Luckily, my work has a color printer too, so... I don't even need to use my own ink!

Of course, I have so far... Corporations suck about their supplies.

And I just realized I'm stupid... I don't need to print them out. In fact... I shouldn't print them out. OK, dummy away!

 

[hoochmonkey9]

someone found one of my placed broadsides!

Nova Scotia's on the map, baby!

well, it was already on the map, but you know what I mean....

 

[Ponder]

The new broadsides look great as usuall.
I like the lay out of the M. Phillips poem.

 

[mjp]

someone found one of my placed broadsides!

Remember, others have likely been found too. Every finder doesn't register the find...

 

[Ponder]

True. I think only a few broadsides I'm smuggling into books are registered.
It's a shame.

 

[LickTheStar]

I know at least 1/2 of the ones I've hidden have gone out in books so far. Which is great!

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I received a broadside in a book I got and when I went to the web site I could not find where to register the number on the broadside. A super nice poem by Hosho McCreesh called CICADA. I'll get my computer illiterate ass to try once more.

 

[hank solo]

GKHL - look at the top corner of the site for this 'button':

http://www.guerillapoetics.org/

 

[Gerard K H Love]

DUH! Thank you.

 

[Hosh]

GKHL,

Also--a quick thank you for the kind words about the poem--I sure appreciate that!

 

[Gerard K H Love]

You sure deserve that, as do all of the fine poets around here.

 

[bospress.net]

If anyone missed it, Father Luke had a poem selected for a broadside with the GPP. That one will be out in about a month. It will be broadside #48 in the series.

All voting on poems for inclusion is done blind. Names are removed and all operatives are free to submit poems and can vote. As there are no names, it allows the GPP to select the poems that we feel are the strongest without any loyalties to names. Really, none of us can see names and the marvelously designed software will NOT allow a poet to vote for his/her own poems, so they are forced to vote for other poems and the personal aspect is taken out of it.

The Father's poem is great certainly well deserved for the series.

I'll send a scan of it once it is ready.

Bill

 

[Hosh]

ATTENTION all GPP members who frequent this neck of the woods!

Submissions are soon to close! We want to print your great poems & send them to unsuspecting readers worldwide! We also want your help in deciding which poems to print--how's that for literary democracy?

If you're a member & a poet of any stripe--send us your BEST!

 

[vodka]

ugh. when exactly is the last day for submissions and do you guys have a link to the place where we vote on which ones to print? i looked on the site and cannot find it. but i actually remembered to change my login information this time so i can remember it!

 

[cunningham]

it's actually on your profile page once you LOG IN. just head over:

H E R E

and enter your USER/PASS and click the SUBMIT link at the top of the page. the VOTE link will appear when the subs close in a little while. you have a few days, I'd say...

 

[vodka]

thank you very much, cunningham.

 

[mjp]

Funny that the GPP ceased operations almost four years ago and newly found broadsides are still being registered at the site. One recent find was broadside #4 which went out more than six years ago.

Something tells me people will be finding those things for another 10 years.

 

[Black Swan]

Hell! I thought that this was Bukowski's Head for a second!
I still have a few broadsides. I should place a few more. That was fun.

it's been a couple of months since I paid, but no package yet.
Dammit, I'm ready to go in!!!!
