In light of the recent discussions of visual poetry amd mail art
and other projects on this list,
and the current availibility of many excellent new anthologies--
made note of--
I'd like to take the occaision to repost this announcement--
having originally sent it basically during the holidays
surrounding July 4th in the midst of distractions of various
fireworks and assorted other distractions
I should also note that BLACKBIRD 3 to appear next year is open
to submissions
please direct enquiries to the editor David Stone, at the address
below
I would most highly recommend BLACKBIRD for learning more of the
activites and works of international visual poetry--and, if you
are
serious about contributing, or learning of visual and
other poetries, arts--ordering a copy-- you won't regret it!
