More from Marcus Slease

This man has the soft fleshy part of my ear:
so much writing out there. In the good book they say to sort the wheat from the not-wheat. texts are multiplying at increasing rates. I have heard the distinction between innovative and mainstream no longer holds sway. At least in America with so many soft surrealists and mags and blogmags popping up everyday. The Fence revolution etc. There is good poetry in all "camps" of course. Not population control but some good strong critics and more selective publications? perhaps more vision?

or perhaps poetry communities swapping their writing? cell to cell...

And:
A very interesting interview with Anne Waldman and Stacy Szymaszek about the Poetry Project at St. Marks church in the Bowery. The history. The community building. The future.

One of my favourite places in the universe. The Openned reading series in London has the potential to build along these lines. 

And his blog continues onwards with writings of Abraham Smith and Sean Bonney.
