The comments following your Talking Writing piece showed that I wasn't the only one moved by it.  It was also simply a great choice of topic -- how many teachers even think of such things anymore, let alone have their students try out the experience?  And you're exactly right that mail-art is important for the "gathering and using of [library, book, mail] artifacts in a meaningful way."  I'm loving it, and have been going through boxes (many boxes!) of just such artifacts I've been collecting for years, ever since I became part of the antiquing world, which was 1994.  Every now and then someone would suggest I get rid of the stuff since it turned out I was using only a small amount of it in my regular collages.  I wanted to use it, but it seemed that was becoming cliche because of the scrapbooking trend and the copying of the style of people like Nick Bantock.  But I never seriously considered getting rid of any of it, because I love it and sensed someday the right format for it would capture my attention.  And as we see, it has.

In one box the other night I found a copy of a letter I wrote to a friend about 5 years ago, and was amazed to see this paragraph in it:  "Linda.  I found a letter you wrote me the other day.  I mean you didn't write it the other day, I found it the other day.  You wrote it in Dec. 2004, and it's such a good letter, and you stuck stuff to it.  You must know about mail art, yes?  Have you ever gotten into it?  You're a natural.  I'm getting sorely tempted myself."  I don't even remember tossing around the term that recently.

Just kidding -- the name is so similar to De Villo.

You did these covers yourself, I mean as your art??

Oh superhero, you can google too.  It's a shame when they misspell the author's name on the cover, though.
