Sorry to be so late!
Last night was very humid. I was sleepy but felt restless. I picked a small book from a shelf, 'A Common Thread' by Chance Press and read it aloud, which is something that I often do when I am alone. I thought to myself, what a great collection 0f poems, a tough little book! I had forgotten all about it, even some of you as writers. I finished the book by reading the biographical notes and fell asleep. This morning, words, names, cities and jobs were still floating by. 'Hands' by Hines, the man up the tree by Johannes, Roni's love poem, Joan as a go-go dancer, Hosho's, Purple Stick's infatuation at the market ect...
But I was wondering what was a 'cotton blower'. I went through the contributor's list where I had read that it was mjp's occupation. I realized that I had been dreaming this last one.
Any way, all these words to say that Chance Press had done a good job with their first publication. I also enjoyed looking at everyone's signature, one by one.
