Hey Fred – Glad to help. I’ll be following your podcasting advneture with great interest. Good to hear you’ll have a banjo player in the family!

Dang, good to hear voices associated with names first learned and known–what–6-7 years ago? Thanks, Dave, for podcasting help this week, some hurdles passed, some yet to grapple with. Sent my son (who FINALLY after years of wanting one got a banjo for Christmas) your banjo poems.

Take care, you two…

Well, as always, I am honored by your attention to my work.

Not to worry, I wouldn’t do such a thing without warning, let alone without permission. It’s really a magnificent poem, though, and I don’t know of anything like it. (Which doesn’t mean much, since I basically have no idea what’s been written since about 1910. But still.)

Ack! Please don’t publish Cibola! If you want a printed copy, I believe there are web services that specialize in one-off books.

Being too lazy is a huge impediment for me getting more of this kind of thing done, too. I mean, as I said in the podcast, I was never opposed to making a “Words on the Street” collection, just not sufficiently motivated. Because when you get right down to it, it’s always more fun to write new blog posts, poems, or whatever than to fiddle with the old ones.

Finally listened to this (listening to casts is so fun but it takes so much time!) I’ve toyed with the idea of “publishing” Cibola at Lulu, or some such, just because I really want to read it as a physical book, in my hands. The two things stopping me being that I don’t know enough to edit it properly and that I’m too lazy. But your stuff seems to elicit this impulse, Dave!

Anyway, at least I’ll have the Tools, thanks to Beth!

[...] it, I talked all about the book, and my surprise at finding out it was going to be published, in Episode 2 of the podcast: a conversation with Beth Adams about Phoenicia Publishing, singing in a cathedral choir, and much [...]

Awesome. Well, it's now available via Createspace; we're just waiting another couple days until it shows up on Amazon before making the formal announcment.

Looking forward to giving ode to tools to a carpenter friend of mine who is in need of a renewed appreciation for his own craft.

Isn’t it, though? I love the photo of the angel with broken-off fingers, and the back-cover photo is one of the best examples of selective coloring in an otherwise black-and-white photo I’ve seen. I only regret it’s a going to be a little CD booklet (rather than, say, a very extravagent LP).
