Listen to me belt out “Jesus Is A Dying Bed Maker” in honor of Gertrude Stein’s Birthday Part III! Charles Bernstein, Carolyn Bergvall, George Oppen and Mary Jo Bang sing along! http://wordsalad.wordpress.com/ Jess

One of my all-time favorite sopranos. I’ve spent the last hour listening to her Dov’e l’indiana bruna! Could another voice like hers ever exist again?

New Sins Press (Yes!) Glenn Sheldon & the sinning crew, The Straddler (Goddess run by eternal decree!), Catalyst Press (Yessica Jessica—check her site out for a great on-line journal about birthing, women’s issues and weight lifting!), A Very; An Anthology of New Fiction run by the wonderful Emma Straub (who is a living, laughing Modigliani painting!). Bombay Gin’s Jenmarie Davis (she’s a trooper!), Lewis Warsh, who’s been there and back (forgot to ask him how Michael Lally’s doing), Gloria Frym of California College Of the Arts—an instant soul mate, the tattooed lady and the quiet lady at the Pank table (love that name though it means a swat on the ass in Japanese), my triple buds at Specs: Vidhu Vidhu Vidhu Aggarwal (love ya!) and Jennifer Jennifer Jennifer Ailles!

I’m still dragging myself around like a half-stepped-on cock roach here, but once my mind flutters back I’ll be able to talk a bit more precisely about these publications. Jess

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. (They’re a great on-line resource and we were lucky enough to find ourselves right next to them!) Laughing, Jess
