A lovely (and funny) anecdote out of Ronald Johnson’s 1976 Vort interview, conducted by Barry Alpert (reprinted in _Ronald Johnson: Life and Works_ (National Poetry Foundation, 2008)). I would love to read a collection of the letters exchanged between Ian Hamilton Finlay and Johnson.

Many thanks to Colin Sackett of Uniform Books for my copy of 'done' which is an excellent example of 'scriptio continua' (or perhaps that should be 'scriptiocontinua' and youseewhatIdid there).

There is only Denis, Miss Parrott and me. We all get along very well. Miss Tomb is away, has been since January. I've been planting cabbages this past week.

"There are 66 publishers at this year’s event. 66 arguments for the book and the idea of the book. 66 examples of what a small press can do."
"The inventory is whatever will fit into two rucksacks and two carrier bags. To be hauled, on foot, between tram, train and tube. City to city. One year to the next."
