from Spider Vein Impasto: Gun and Knife
Spider Vein Impasto was one of Juliet Cook's singular, hand-crafted print journals in the late Aughts. I weighed in, in this particular collection, with Gun and Knife, which later showed up in the 2010 Mipo chapbook Returns. The dedication to John Tranter suggested itself to me because Tranter's sense of humor, expressed in his work, is an intriguingly dark one, and this one turned out to be dark, too.

Truck: Cheltenham: Trove
Another Trove/Treasure Trove moment: though they happen not to be elegies, these two stalwart Apparition Poems appeared in the '12 Blazevox ed. of Cheltenham, and also in Halvard Johnson's now-Troved Truck in the fall of '11.
The Helios MSS on Trove
The mid-Teens arrival of The Helios Mss was a quiet one. It issued from Raymond Farr, who'd founded, among other things, Blue & Yellow Dog Press, which by 2018 had published two editions of my Equations. The Helios Mss, however, was picked up by Trove/NLA, which has given it some extra life & juice. My two NLA entries from The Helios Mss consist of a late-era Apparition Poem, to be included in later editions of Apparition Poems, and a Chicago-themed sonnet from Something Solid. Thanks again, Ray.
