Okay, I'm talking about one dollar. Or: When is one dollar two dollars? Observe. Or: it could be two dollars, that would be four dollars, five would be ten.
Observable Readings is cash poor but idea rich. For every dollar you contribute to support them, The St. Louis Regional Arts Commission will give the same. Nice.
The first annual Observable Dollar Campaign is happening now. Paypal them a buck, feel good about supporting the literary arts, get on the list. Find out about it here.
Meanwhile, my own horn:
Free Verse #10 includes a poem from case sensitive. And several sections of The Last 4 Things (the ms. that's chasing me around the studio each morning & finishing itself when I'm asleep) are now up at KELR.
I've got five poems in this year's 26. The site hasn't been updated lately, but you can get a copy at: 26, P.O. Box 4450, Saint Mary's College, Moraga, CA 94575-4730. $12 for one, or $20 for a two year subscription.
New issues of CARVE and Spell will be out in a minute and I have stuff in both. (The Spell pages are art + words.)
Two more reviews of Learning the Language have appeared--one in Galatea Resurrects #2, the other in Bookslut. And speaking of dollars, seven can still buy you a copy of this chapbook (critically acclaimed!) while supply lasts: here.
Coming soon... Statues, my tinyside from Big Game Books. Tinysides are the most recent brainchild of Maureen Thorson, force of nature. And I think Maureen may still be accepting submissions (check with her) as production of the tinysides continues at all hours.
One more thing. Ahsahta Press is now offering subscriptions. You can get the six books of the 2006-07 season for $60, plus Ahsahta will throw in a free back-list title. Free shipping! That works out to $8.57 a book. As someone who spends way more on books than I can reasonably afford, I feel qualified to say that's a pretty sweet deal. It all begins with the two September '06 books: Aaron McCollough's Little Ease, and my book, case sensitive. Oh, but wait--I see now that you can also order the entire 2005-06 season for $50! Six terrific books for fifty dollars! free shipping! (I haven't talked so much about money since I got my flood insurance bill.)
