Christmas 2004 Chapbook X Change
Okay Drunk poets (and I guess now, sexy poets) we need to talk about chapbooks.
A few of us were thinking of putting together chapbooks for christmas time and I love the idea still but we need to keep on the ball.
So I propose we institute a schedual for ourselves:
By midnight on November 15th we bring together between 5 and 10 poems that we intend on putting in our chapbook.
Also, if you are a poet who would like to participate email your mailing address to me at matthewnickel@hotmail.com then I will forward everyones email and mailing address to everyone for the final mailling.
And on Drew's suggestion, we should do a secret santa where we send a wacky salvaged item for last minute inspiration for poems before christmas based on interested parties.

what? what is this fabulous idea? i want to get chapbooks from all my favorite poets again! though i'll admit i haven't written 15 new poems since my last chapbook... but either way. the secret santa thing. the chapbook exchange. it all sounds like a merry christmas to me, count me in.
if you decide to do a secret santa exchange, may i suggest you use http://www.elfster.com to organize it? elfster is a tool i built to help organize and enliven your secret santa. you can do fun things like ask your person a question without them knowing who you are. you can keep a wishlist, even a do not need list. if you try it out, i'd love to know what you think, just drop me a line from the "contact us" link.
may you find your inner elf,
Peter
