Preface

 

With the new Monday Journal out with a vengeance (online & print), worth noting that Vlad has something else coming out of note: a second print edition of his late Nineties chapbook Derelict. When Derelict was released, Vlad still lived in Philly, and much of the action in the chap takes place in Philly. Vlad asked me to write a preface for this second edition, and I did.

Treasure Trove Part 2

Trove, subsidiary of the National Library of Australia, in Canberra, Australia, has continued to re-publish the pdfs of entire Otoliths issues which began in 2017, and which I mentioned here in 2018.  

Here now, are issues 57, 61, and 65, featuring Wayfaring Angel, The Witches of South Philadelphia, and Perfect, respectively. 

Hannah Miller

 

Hannah Miller was an important social presence for the Philly Free School in the mid-Aughts. Hailing from the West Coast (Santa Cruz, So-Cal), she split her time then between books & politics; and she was devoted to a liberal socio-political vision of Philadelphia that Mike, Jeremy, Nick & I approved of. 

Among other new appearances of Hannah online, in & around Philly Free School, Poetry Incarnation '05, & the Highwire Gallery, Hannah appears in the Something Solid sonnet Undulant, which I can be heard reading here, and is also featured in the new Monday Journal. And The Wilderness Sequence.

And the lead-up...

 

 In the lead-up to English 271, Laura Goldstein discovered Opera Bufa at myopic books in Wicker Park, Chicago, as is explained here.
