 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?

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

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

Gwiedo

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

Thank you Rebecca and Gwedo ;-) X

AG! Gwiedo :-) X

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

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.

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.

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

Excellent! We're off to the races!
