Nancy Miller interviews me about a, A Novel in the streets of Copenhagen . . .

2017 is the 20th anniversary of my initial forays into publishing under the housepress imprimatur (switched to no press in 2005) — and I would like to offer thanks and give back to the authors involved in these press over the years.

Most of those editions are long out of print, having moved in to personal collections and archives and are rare collectors items.

So i have an offer: if you were published by housepress or no press, and are interested,  scan your edition, create a PDF and email it to me  — and I will host downloadable PDFs as links on the presses’ sites.

This will return that work to circulation, allow for increased study and readership, and might be a fun way of recollecting how small pieces of paper, thread and the occasional staple, attempted to build a conversation.
