Jerome Rothenberg: Some Recent Publications, for the Record

While I’ve tried to present Poems and Poetics as more of an ongoing magazine or (in part) an anthology-in-progress than as a personal journal or weblog, I want to take this opportunity – for the record – of indicating some recent publications of my own that may be of interest to some of those who have otherwise followed my workings & musings.  The entries below are gleaned from work published over the last two years, the online ones easy enough to link to, the others involving various degrees of searching.  It should be obvious that any such gesture would have been impossible in the years before the internet, when many of us were first reaching out toward that community or uncommunity that may still continue to escape us. (J.R.)
