[Newspoetry] Other Venues

[William Gillespie]

I think the venues for Newspoetry are primarily those you invent. Even if
literary periodicals and the like were interested, the lag before
publication might undermine the timeliness of the newspoetry enterprise.
For me, these venues have included putting newspoems inside newspaper
machines, on bulletin boards, in bathroom stalls, in tip jars, giving them
to friends, sending them to inappropriate email lists, and leaving them in
Cary Nelson's mailbox. I have recently started to port all my newspoems to
spinelessbooks.com/newspoetry/william, including about four years
worth from before we had a website.

There have been at least two occurrences of newspoetry being reprinted in
zines and college literary journals.

Here in Urbana, The Urbana Independent Media Center publishes a newspaper
called the Public I that sometimes reprints newspoems:

http://publici.ucimc.org/

(Check it out - maybe you got published and didn't even know it.)

There has been some talk of making part of their site into a live
newspoetrywire where we could post the occasional newspoem for possible
publication in the Public I.

Watch this email list for details I guess...
