Hi Reed and all,
Last time I wrote to Charleton was back in 1993 or so. I'm pretty sure he
never finished the Ray
Johnson issue. At the time he was taking care of his kid and household and

Well bearing in mind the Ray

They put very few small press writers in that magazine. Most publish with major
houses. There's a very big "small press" movement going on in this country. There are
a lot of great writers who get ignored by Bomb. It's almost like you have to live in
New York or write poetry that lacks guts in
Postscript re. Bomb magazine
Whether or not you like the neo celbrity (???made that up) status of
the subjects, I must restate I like the idea of artists interviewing poets,
et al. I think it's very fresh for a published magazine. If
