AND NOW A WORD FROM JIM DODGE ~



H O W ' S     Y O U R     D A Y     G O I N G ?



For many years, well, decades, Jerry Reddan and I have traded publications from our presses —
it's what you do in the small press world if you want to amount to anything.
It's actually what you did before you even had a press.
You shared.

So staying with tradition, as Jerry shares with me a fine letterpress
piece, by his annual favorite Jim Dodge, I can't resist
but to share Jim's poem with you.
We count ourselves lucky.

another show I was at, Tanglewood 1968
I just finished reading Philip Roth's "Goodbye Columbus" and went to
this show with my sister
Judy Collins also on the bill
and if I'm not mistaken
MJQ closed the evening
Ellis was lit!

That's Humphrey Bogart & Gloria Grahame
