The new issue of Damn the Caesars includes a good number of British poets, such as Infinite Difference contributors Emily Critchley and Frances Kruk, as well as Allen Fisher, Francesca Lisette, Luke Roberts, and Keston Sutherland. I myself have eight Divining for Starters poems in the issue. The cover art is "Proposal 22" by Fisher.
In March I mentioned that Richard Owens, of Punch Press and Damn the Caesars in Buffalo, New York, had expressed his interest in doing a letterpress chapbook/pamphlet of poems from the Divining for Starters series. I'd submitted poems to the magazine, and following that, Owens had asked to see the whole DfS series. I feel only about a third of it is good enough to share publicly, so I sent those pieces to him. Eight will appear in the next issue of Damn the Caesars, while twenty will be collected in a letterpress chapbook, Divinations (there's some overlap). Tonight I returned the proofs for both, so I gather publication will follow shortly. More news as I have it!
Good news! Richard Owens of Damn the Caesars and Punch Press has asked to bring out a small letterpress chapbook/pamphlet of poems from the "Divining for Starters" series. I'll provide more details when I have them; I gather it will appear later this year. To read about the series, see my earlier post, or to read a selection, see Shearsman 60.
