I sent him an email a while back, but did not hear back.
Hopefully he is jut busy enjoying time with his family.

While I am awaiting a new Milk, I am very much concerned about Josh. He has spent some time away from here over the years, but this is the most lengthy time I've known. Screw MILK, I hope he's OK.

I just emailed him asking him to let us know that he is OK. I'll let you all know as soon as I hear back...

I hate to do this in an open forum, maybe he'll see this. Still cannot reach him. I too am worried. I just left another phone message and emailed him. I found another possible phone number for him and will try that tomorrow if I don't hear from him. May be too late in the evening to call tonight.

No luck at that other number. If anyone has any other way to get a hold of him, please let me know. I found a phone number on the whois for the milk website. That is someone else's number now. I called and they texted back saying that they were driving. I sent a text saying that I show this as the number for Josh and that I needed to get a hold of him and they never replied. Also, tried the cell that I had (left two messages over the last month) and email. Have not tried the buk.net email. If is is a yahoo address, then I tried that too.

I will keep trying to get in touch with him, but at this point the project is moving ahead. It has been a long time and Josh and Abel worked hard too hard on this to keep delaying it. Here are some low-res pics. The cover will be letterpress printed in two colors from a design by Chronic. The insides are digitally printed. The book will measure 8.5" x 11" and is 54 pages. Hardcovers will be quarter-bound in cloth. Most of these poems are previously unpublished. The Bukowski poem is "My First Fax Poem", which is not only an amazing short poem, but is most likely the last poem that he ever wrote. Written in the hopital and sent to John Martin via fax a couple weeks before he passed away. Quite the double issue here. This issue dedicated to Amiri Baraka and Charles Bukowski. I'm proud that they all brought me on-board.

Please let me know if any of the links don't work. If you are buying more than one edition, or more than one copy, please email me at milk@bospress.net and I'll send an invoice. I don't want to charge anything more than it costs to mail these. I will also post this on Facebook, so these may go fast. Both of the last to issues sold out very fast.

Just heard from Josh via text. All is well. Seems to be having email problems, etc. I wanted to put your minds at ease as soon as I heard. Worried that Roni would board a plane and roam the streets of LA knocking on the doors of all 47 people named Josh Johnson in LA like Arnold looking for Sarah Connor...

Bill, thanks. An email is on the way for paperback and HC. Please let me know if it doesn't come through, since we've had email connectivity issues in the past.

Got the email. That was surprising. For some reason PS's emails never get thru. Have never been able to figure it out. Maybe it is fixed, or we were just lucky.

This should make it a bit easier for anyone ordering just one copy. Again, anyone ordering more than one, please just email me.

Yes indeed.
Boy! What a relief!
What happened? How could all your different ways to try to get into contact not work? Has he been in Alaska to hunt bears?
I had already told Arnold to go have a look on my behalf and he just managed to visit 46 people of that name so far.
Oh and: I'd like to buy 3 softcover editions please!

Roni,
Please just pay once for shipping and that will get them all there. so, $43 will cover three paperbacks, plus shipping to Germany.
Best,

Just letterpress printed this for the hardcover edition of MILK. Blue lines and black "writing" was letterpress printed. Phil Levine passed away recently. Still time to get your copy. I have moved the buy links to my website, www.bospress.net

It was painful for me too! I always underestimate shipping. Paypal has no real good system for calculating shipping. Sadly, international shipping has at least doubled int he last couple years. I have considered NOT selling overseas as it is costing me, in some cases, more than the total of the book, so at the end of the day, I have paid them to take the book. Still, I publish a lot of folks overseas and cannot do that.
