jw curry (postage &) back cover of One Cent #400
the back cover of one cent #400 is a mimeo transcription (which means curry has hand-carved it onto a stencil) by curry of a graffiti-poem by p. cob, (probably from a photo by D.M. Owen) curry gives this transcription:
A MAN WHO
LOVEd OTHER PEOPlEs
MOMS
MASS
PRoducE PAiNTEd
StONES AN HidE THEM
THAT P.C. HAd SEX
WitH MiKHAil
GORb
.................
This is a giant blow out issue of curry's one cent series to celebrate hitting #400: 22 pages of densely typed mimeo madness, with illustrations, in the jumbo 8.5 X 14 format (not folded), includes: visual poetry by Judith Copithorne; dreams from Lance LaRocque & Jan Svankmajer; a note from Jerry Janacek; longish poems by Pearl Pirie, Judith Copithorne, & Maxine Gadd; a short essay by Richard Truhlar (on the fact that "avant-garde" artists in one medium often have mainstream tastes in another medium); a two page article (printed in red & purple ink on yellow paper) on "Esemplastic Zappology" by Ben Watson; previously unpublished(?) revisions of poems by bp Nichol & Michael Ondaatje; republications of poems by Doug Steedman (cadged from a derek beaulieu publication), Laurie Fuhr & Daniel f. Bradley; more poetry by Warren Dean Fulton, billy little, John Barlow & Aaron Vidaver; translations by Marshall Hryciuk of poems by August Stramm, Arthur Rimbaud & Pablo Antonio Cuadra; plus the beginnings of a Judith Copithorne bibliography by curry himself; along with running reviews and commentary (and rants) by curry of/on multitidinous books, cds, interviews, anthologies, publications, etc. by Donato Mancini, Dorothy Lusk, Christian Bok & Margaret Atwood, Ben Watson, Paul Haines, Tomahawk & Fantomas (Mike Patton related noise projects), Barbara Caruso, Tom Walmsley, Stuart Ross, yours truly, P. Cob, D.M. Owen, curry's own Messagio Galore project, plus plenty more!
plus you have to realize that this beast is genuine HAND-CRANKED mimeo! his mimeo machine is not even electric!
and what's the price of all this you may wonder? can it be that all this is available for a single penny? hmmm, well, it is part of his one cent series, so, maybe, maybe...

Mairead Byrne State House Calendar
from the intro: "The Rhode Island State House in Providence is a magnificent & totally unlikely building, beached on Smith Hill under huge skies. I see it every day when I drive from my home in Mount Pleasant to the East Side of Providence where I work. For 13 months in 2004-2005, I recorded my first glimpse of it every morning: the color of the stone against the color of the sky. At the end of each month, these daily notes became a poem."
here's the the start of first poem:
"State House, September"
candle-flame against turquoise
pearl against lavender
mint against rose
breast-milk on mauve
metal against mackerel
yellowed lace on watered silk
graphite on glass
silhouette on pale blue
eggshell on streaked blue
grey cut-out against sky-blue
velcro on azure
.

Published in a limited edition of 100 by watersign press/Calendar Girl Books for the Dusie Kollektiv, 2008.

& it's even a real calendar! which doesn't begin until September 2009, so still plenty of time!
