I'm curious what would happen if the newspoetry well was absolutely tapped
out.  Has that ever happened in the history of newspoetry?  I hate to even
think about it.  I love newspoetry, think it's wonderful.

I have 5-10 more newspoems, but I've been sort of submitting them slowly.  I
haven't wanted my stuff to be the only stuff that's published.  Nor have I
wanted my stuff NOT to be published because there was too much other
material, or because there was a perception that I was somehow getting too
much "air time".

As long as I'm on the subject, where are Nicki Neulist and Isadore these
days?  They were both really good.

And isn't WillGill, the founder of newspoetry, required to write anything
any more?  :) I haven't seen anything by him in a LONG time.
