Cathy, I host Wordsalad, a weekly radio program in Madison, Wis. of contemporary spoken word and poetry. I air audio of poets reading their own work. I'd enjoy airing your work as well. Do you have mp3s or a tape or a CD you could send? Paul Baker www.wordsalad.wordpress.com pabaker55@sbcglobal.net
I've been meaning to contact you about a project I'm working on with Thom Donovan, but am only just now getting a breather from adjunct work. I don't know whether Thom's been in touch with you or not, so forgive me if I'm repeating this message. We're compiling a selection of new responses to John Taggart's work & wondered if you'd have any interest in contributing something. I've only just now seen your essay/discussion of John's work on the Poetry Foundation site, which is pretty great--any chance you might have more to say about John's work?
A bit about the project: it's being compiled for Little Red Leaves (www.littleredleaves.com), where I'm a contributing editor, & will include both an online and a print feature. The online version we hope can act as a small archive of Taggart materials, including links to essays elsewhere online, as well as (hopefully) out-of-print materials, as permissions are granted. The online feature will include all the materials featured in the print version, as well. The print version will be reserved for a smaller gathering of new writing on John's work, some poems (from John, Ted Enslin, Elena Rivera & maybe others), a review or two, and editorial framing the project & suggesting the necessity for further attention. The print version will likely be a relatively small run, mostly for contributors & John himself & a handful of other folks. John's involved & has generously agreed to let us publish a previously unpublished essay of his on Black Mountain, & Bob Bertholf has compiled an extensive bibliography of all John's work in print, as well as a new essay (on John's "Odor of Quince" poem), both of which will be included in our thing.
More materials are coming from other contributors, and we've still yet to solicit everyone we intend to ask, but we'd _really_ love if you had anything you might be willing to contribute, and we're not under a tight deadline if you could be persuaded to write something new... Also, though it sounds like a festschrift, we'd like it to resist operating as such, so please don't feel at all limited in the kind of response we're asking for. We'd love to have anything you'd like to send. If you're interested, please let me know.
...I'd love to send you some books from Dos Press, too, which I co-edit with Julia Drescher, if you wouldn't mind sending along a postal address where they can be sent. We're both huge fans of your work, but for some reason don't have you on our mailing list yet.
Hope to hear from you soon!
W/admiration & thanks, CJ Martin cm49600@gmail.com

Hi Cathy,
I was a student of yours back when you were in Iowa City and am trying to contact you. Could you send me your email address?
PS - I was very disappointed to miss your reading at Prairie Lights. Congratulations on the new book!
I think this comment contains my email address, but if not let me know.
Thanks-Stephanie
