The internet tells me once again that it's National Poetry Month--a strange thing when most of us are doing poetry every month, all the time, and only now, for a brief 30 days, is there a weird spotlight on it.

* April's zine offering has turned out to be my conspiracy theory project of text pieces and collages, so watch for a small edition print version in the shop, as well as a free e-version next week.
* I will be also making some older print zines available virtually for your perusal, including the mermaid-centric shipwrecks of lake michigan and the poets zodiac.

*This month also brings the launch of our URBAN LEGENDS: FROM PLAYGROUND LORE TO CULTURAL NORMS exhibit & programming, which will feature the collage pieces from the conspiracy theories zine project. Stay tuned for the virtual exhibit coming April 8th,...
