<p><strong>Possible cover for the THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY (Anthology of World Trashpo)</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>In an effort to cash in and ride on the coattails of the huge success of the new <em>The Last Vispo Anthology</em> edited by Crag Hill and Nico Vassilakis, I am trying to put together THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY. This will be a book that showcases the greatest Trashpo that has been produced so far. They're selling their anthology on Amazon:</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Last-Vispo-Anthology-1998-2008/dp/1606996266">http://www.amazon.com/The-Last-Vispo-Anthology-1998-2008/dp/1606996266</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>The Trashpo anthology could be printed cheap on LuLu or somewhere and might create enough brand confusion to sell a bunch of copies. (Contributors are not being asked for front money! Only to contribute your work. You are "the talent"!). Trashpo will triumph with "every day low prices."</p>
<p></p>
<p>Unfortunately, I have never put together an anthology. So I am asking for help. If you would be willing to have your Trashpo included in THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY, could you you post a scan in the comment stream below? If you know of any classic Trashpo by other artists, could you name the artist and the work? I am pretty sure you have to get permission from people before you use their work in an anthology. The whole thing can be assembled using scans.</p>
<p></p>
<p>(The anthology is not meant to be confused with my two other books in progress <em>TrashPoEtics</em> and <em>The DeKadence of Trashpo.)</em></p>
<p></p>
<p>SO PLEASE! POST WORK TO BE INCLUDED IN THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY. (Please give works a title!)</p>

<p><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"><strong>Trashpo (Trash Poetry)</strong> - In 2005, U.S.A. visual poet <strong>Jim Leftwich</strong> posted photos on the internet of wastebasket material that appeared to have been randomly dumped on a scanner bed and then copied. The trash had ripped, printed letters and words that when combined formed a text similar to <strong>DaDa</strong>ist poetry.</span></p>
<p><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Thus, Trashpo is a form of <strong>visual poetry</strong> based on <strong>chance operations</strong> and <strong>anti-art</strong>, although its recent popularity in the <strong>international mail-art network</strong> has produced numerous hybrids (and mutations) that have evolved from the Leftwich originals.</span></p>
<p><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Examples of Leftwich's Trashpo appeared on <strong>Fluxlist Europe in 2007</strong> and their originality was noted by <strong>Ruud Janssen</strong> in the comment stream, but the impact of Trashpo's first wave is unknown.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">U.S. writer and artist <strong>Lannie Quarles</strong> used the term trashpo as early as 2003 as a title for a series of journals he kept, but the content does not appear to resemble the later Leftwich work.</span></p>
<p><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"><strong>TrashPo Litzer Prize</strong>- Anyone can nominate someone, including themselves, to receive this award for excellence and innovation in Trashpo. All awards, however, m</span><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">ust be approved by <strong>THE COMMITTEE</strong>, a panel of experts whose identities are a secret. <strong>KDJ</strong> oversees these awards.

What makes a trashbook a trashbook, is that the creator intended it to be a trashbook (with or without the acknowledgement by the book itself that it is a trashbook), and that the materials are things typically discarded, without immediate value, and unconventional in some way. Items can be found, extraneous (spell chick can edit this post), rejected, dejected, forgotten, abandoned, discarded, unappreciated, cast off, put aside, or have hidden value seen only to other trashpo artists, if such a thing exists. Cheryl has recently validated trashbooks as a genre.trashbooks will appreciated in a whole new way. If trashbooks were a character, they would be the underdog. And some people can not help but root for the underdog. </span></span></p>

Over time, we can have a gallery of historic Trashpo.</p>
<p>"The Committee" - a panel of international Trashpo experts under the direction of KDJ - reviews nominations and officially announce recipients. Names of those awarded the Trash Po-litzer are emblazoned upon The Landfill of Fame for eternity, and they enjoy all rights and privileges that accompany this honor.</p>
<p>Diane Keys (DK) received a TrashPo Litzer Prize for the "Pork Series." This brought Trashpo off the street and into the supermarket. "Pork Series" built an important bridge to biopoetry, meat poetry, and the recognition that shopping lists are one of the highest forms of art in the 21st century. Bravo DK!</p>
