Kudos, Bryan, looks like you had an awesome 2006!
Papertiger Media I think is quite cool. Do you know anything about their (relatively) recently inaugurated imprint/press?
Well, I'd say 2006 was pretty cool. Now I've got to wonder how I'll top it in 2007.
As for Papertiger, it seems they're getting off the ground and I think they'll be someone to watch in the future.
The approach they're taking to supporting multimedia poetry in particular has my eye.
You really need to get a copy of it- from a poet's point of view, handling it really gets the gerbil wheels in the head spinning.
That is quite a range of publications, Bryan. Great work! It was also a pleasure working with you.
Awesome Bryan! Congratulations!!!
Impressive year, Bryan! I look forward to seeing what you do with 2007, and it looks like you're off to a great beginning!
