~ people getting words to people who don't get words


I'm honored to have a poem included in Vol. 19 of NEXXUSS, which is a downloadable issue connected to the "take-it-to-the-street" project.

Will Crawford's poem "Actual Tigers" also appears in this Vol. 19. Another just-released issue -- Vol. 20 -- is dedicated to the photographic art of Eleanor Leonne Bennett:

From what I understand, copies of each issue are distributed internationally for free, into unusual venues and for people who might not have access to contemporary poetry. And I suppose the basic gesture of bringing poetry into the awareness of others (who might never think about poetry) is a significant thing in itself. It seems like a noble mission to me. Here's some more info on the project:
