...1 QUOTATION MINUS... PLUS, NO RAVENS, NEW POEMS

1. "...every text's about saying something, even if that something is nothing at all. This is the metamorphosis of soundlessness into silence..." - Vanessa Place from "Ventouses" in Notes on Conceptualisms

And as everyone knows thanks to John Cage and George Macuinas and Sonic Youth, among others: silence is music, so every text saying something, which is nothing at all, is a text in song, somebody singing (where somebody is a nobody/everybody/no).

2. Two poems in conversation, by myself and Nate Pritts at The Collagist.

3. Two poems I must've written with a broken foot in the new notnostrums.

Thanks to the Eds. of both these journals.
