Bird Standing

"The high art of the short poem has no master more accomplished than Ronald Baatz. The places found in these poems impart a metaphysical geography amazing in scope and imaginative dimension,a sense of how the continents of conscious thought and feeling must have been experienced and known before they drifted apart. This book is stunning. Its visions redeem a world and a language we may have thought were lost. Think again."

Another update on the Rimbaud anthology. I'm pleased to report that I have gained permission from the estate of William Burroughs to reprint the 1960 Burroughs/Corso collaboration "Everywhere March Your Head" -- based on Rimbaud's "To A Reason" -- in the anthology. Very exciting news! So if you want to share space with Bill Burroughs and Gregory Corso, send me your best stuff. Submissions to rimbaudsubs@gmail.com

In June, 2014 Blind Dog Press will publish an anthology of poems honouring the life and work of Arthur Rimbaud. The tentative title for this collection is "Fierce Invalids: A Small Press Tribute To Arthur Rimbaud".

If you have any Rimbaud themed or related work -- either poetry or prose -- submit it to rimbaudsubs@gmail.com Include your mailing address and a brief bio written in the third person. Previously published work is OK, just state where it first appeared.

Submissions will remain open until around May, 2014.
