“If I looked at some of these pieces as if this project was not spoken-word but just short anthology, I probably would have fussed with some of the sentences, you know? Syllabication and prosody and such crap. Because the printed word is etched in stone. But for reading purposes I accepted this book of texts in the manner in which I wrote them, no need to fuss. Most of the shorter stuff was written as poetry. Meaning lots of white space on the page.” IfsKnowsNeedsBookPurposeReadingStuffSpaceWhitePiecesWrittenProjectsPagesStonesSentencesAcceptedCrapPrintedSpoken WordAnthologyPrinted WordWhite SpaceProsody Author:Richard Meltzer
“Basically, I've reached the point where I've lost any direct relationship to any of the editors I used to have. I suspect I'll have to pay to publish this myself, and I think a lot about about putting out fifty copies. I used to think about hogwash like my legacy and silly things like that. But I feel like if I never have another book out, I've done okay, I've had like twelve or thirteen little books, and I won't be upset about this on my death bed.” IfsThinkingFeelsLittlesBookDoneUsedLostPayBedDirectOkaySillyLegacyUpsetFiftySuspectsCopiesEditorsTwelvePublishThirteenSilly ThingsDeath BedHogwash Author:Richard Meltzer
