 First, thanks to all of you who have written with high fives and
personal checks recently to support the war effort. In the past couple
of months we've had a jump in interest from our readership, and it goes
a long way toward making this crew feel like getting up in the morning.
Because of space considerations, we have saved the letters to run next
month.
If something here yanks your chain, why not take a minute to let us,
and your neighbors, know how you feel? If we make you mad, don't grumble
in silence. If you know something we should, let us in on it. If you've
got some ideas about how this paper can better meet your needs, let us
hear them. Our e-mail address is scpoint@mindspring.com. If you still do it
the old-fashioned way, our snail mail address is P.O. Box 8325, Columbia
SC, 20202.
Thanks, too, to Sandra Fowler, who was kind enough to lend us her
house on Sullivan's Island for last month's poetry benefit. To all of
the Lowcountry poets who read that evening, we appreciate your time,
your talent, and your belief in the written word.
Take note, poet types, that POINT this month is offering a
chapbook of unpublished and new work by poets who have appeared in these
pages. The book is edited by Tom Johnson, with original illustrations by
Jan Ervin. It is the perfect gift for your lover, your best friend or
your poet-loving neighbor. Six bucks buys you the work of 30 poets.
Where else are you going to get a deal like that?
Attendance at the progressive printers poster show has so far been
dismal. The national exhibit is on display another month at the POINT
offices also the home of Harbinger Publications, a member of the
Progressive Printers Network. We went through great pains to hang this
show, taking things off the walls that haven't moved in 20 years. So
you'd better come visit! (We're behind the Bombers ballpark in Columbia,
in the ratty white building with the mural of the Incredible Hulk
smashing through the wall.)
