Nice to meet you Jeff

d.a. levy: Subversive Printmaking in 1960s Cleveland

Welcome and thanks to Zobraks for providing the link. Many of the books in the list are highly collectible and therefore expensive. The Black Sparrow books will get you there in terms of poetry (I recommend The Days Run Away Like Wild Horse Over the Hills and Mockingbird Wish Me luck). If you...

On the Fringes of the Small Press Scene: Solving the Hors Commerce Press Mystery

You're right, it's a good poem, just not great. lt's hit or miss in the mid-to-late 1980s. I'd say the exception is Wormwood -- either because he sent his best stuff there or Malone wouldn't publish what others would. On the otherhand, he was cranking out short stories for Oui and High Times...

This magazine isn't in the database. Nothing immortal, but two uncollected nonetheless

Nice Digney. He did variations on the drawing, but I swear I've seen this one before.
