Comment by De Villo Sloan on April 5, 2015 at 3:29pm: Welcome to the group iWunder. I hope you'll participate.

Received asemics from Jim Leftwich. Many know him via Trashpo, which shouldn't obscure the fact he is a mighty interesting visual poet and asemic writer. Jim's active in the network.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on April 5, 2015 at 12:37am: Oh, and the bio. says Bob Grumman was a reviewer for JMB's Lost & Found Times too.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on April 5, 2015 at 12:35am: Thank you, Terry, you are very caring & thoughtful expressing condolences concerning Bob Grumman.

Just about every old timer in m-a, zines and vispo has their memories of Bob, I'm sure. For one thing, he wrote for a zine called Factsheet 5, which was basically a zine about zines and had a huge following. Bob reviewed a few things I published, and Ruth Schowalter and I were in touch w/ him constantly when we were doing our Paper Bird Press publications. He was an incredibly nice guy. I posted a blog that has a link to one of Bob Grumman's better known essays and some bio info about him.
