 WAITING LIST: We encourage people who want to participate to add your name, even after we reach the 20 mark. Experience shows that the line-up is "in flux" at the beginning.

The book page format will be the same as for the Asemic collaborations (1-3) - 2 sheets folded A4 - ie 8 sides. You will need to make 20 copies and post to each person on the list - the addresses will be added to this discussion once we have got confirmation from all the participants. Again - these collaborations only work if everyone commits and endures!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Do any of you visual poets know how to surf?

[De Villo Sloan]

OK, for now the call is still open. Any visual poets who want to participate in the project still have time.

[Guido Vermeulen]

Cheryl asked me to confirm, so I confirm but do not conform (haha)

[Rebecca Guyver]

I just replied to Cheryl that I confirm that I want to participate but maybe I need to do it here?

[cheryl penn]

Thank you Rebecca and Gwedo ;-) X

[cheryl penn]

AG! Gwiedo :-) X

[Nancy Bell Scott]

In case I'm not confirmed elsewhere, I'm confirming here. ICH. Yes, oui, si, etc.

I will be doing TWO SINGLE SIDED PAGES, i.e. a left page and a right page, as in an open book.

I understand that I need to make 20 copies of EACH PAGE for EACH PARTICIPANT but I am very confused about the size.

Please give the measurements of ONE PAGE in cms or inches.

Thanks

[De Villo Sloan]

Dear vispoets, please don't start addressing envelopes or making copies yet! The list is not finalized. 

Cheryl and I are talking about breaking this up into two editions (but not finalized). Over 20, a single edition seems to become unwieldly.

So there is also a LAST CALL in process. We can accommodate a few more participants.

[Cleveland Wall]

Blah! Late to the party...what comes of stopping for condiments on the way. Please put me on the waiting list and if there is a second edition I will participate--with relish.

[De Villo Sloan]

Hi Cleveland Wall, you're on the list - everyone who has signed up is part of the project. We're thrilled to have you involved. It's more a matter of having one big edition or two smaller ones. Welcome back

[Cleveland Wall]

Excellent! We're off to the races!
