This magazine has been a long time coming, and there are many people to thank, for many reasons: Kyoko "Kiki" Amano, Michael Basinski, Charles Bernstein, Joel Bettridge, Ryan Bigler, William M. Bishop, Robert Creeley, Jennifer Drake, Stu Fuchs, Kenneth Goldsmith, Kim Hackleman, Theresa Heary, Al Jarry, Michael Kelleher, Darrell Klute, LA Lewis, Jackson Mac Low, Lee Meredith, Sarah Janis Tina Jake Napoli, Karen Pandemonium, my parents, Robert "Dad" Perrin, Dan Shea, Brian Sullivan, my Uncle Eddy, Tom Weller, and especially Loss Pequeño Glazier. Without Loss' help this magazine would not exist, and it also would not have a cover.

Issue number two is coming this fall, so please submit. Leather optional. Send poems by e-mail when possible. Mail to:

petersm@acsu.buffalo.edu

or

Mark Peters
130A-2 Garden Village Dr.
Cheektowaga, NY 14227

I'm also planning an electronic chapbook series called deluxe rubber turkeys, so please also submit longer works, serial poems, perhaps one-act plays and short fiction as well.

"Heaven
and
earth
shall
pass
away
but
my
deluxe
rubber
chicken
shall
never
pass
away."
