Well, the site is up and running. And you have definitely responded. We are getting hits and downloads left and right--when I say we, I am referring to my wife, Chenelle, who built this site for me--for all of you--for us. We hope to continue to archive poets and to create an online sonic library for all of our visitors.

I recently booked Dean Young for my show--we had been kicking around dates for the show for months, and finally settled on a Tuesday. Meanwhile, I was trying to book Tony Hoagland and Matt Hart. As it all fell together, this Tuesday evening ended a weekend interview with Matt Hart (who was once taught by Dean Young as was I), a phone call to confirm Dean's Tuesday appearance only to find that Tony Hoagland was in Dean's office at the time I called, and the confirmed booking of Tony Hoagland's appearance for this Saturday. Can we say synergy? Auroric alignment? Providence? Alchemical atomization?

I did not plan for these three particular poets of somewhat the same ilk and association to fall together as they did--so, can I take it as an omen or portent alluding to the ongoing and upcoming success of this archive? Maybe I will take it that way just for the heck of it.

We welcome all of you here--peruse the voices we have collected--enjoy and learn and be amazed.

Hope you are all doing fantastic.
