Holy Shit!
Dear Morgan Lucas Schuldt,
I am pleased to tell you that I have selected VERGE to appear on Free Verse Editions 2006 list. Free Verse Editions is emerging as one of the most audacious lists anywhere, and is highly innovative in its use of new technologies for publishing and the internet for distribution, so you are to be congratulated. I thought your book was highly original and linguistically mesmerizing.
The editor-in-chief of Parlor Press, Dave Blakesley will get in touch with you sometime in the next 30 days to give you details about the contract offer and production window.
Generally speaking, we need 6-9 months (on average) after receipt of the final manuscript to complete the production process and publish the book. For a Fall release, that means we need it in the March-April window. That includes submission of permission information (if any permissions are needed), art work, and suggestions for the cover design. So, judging by our production history, your book will be out next Fall (2007).
Lastly, would you supply me with a short paragraph describing your book? This will be used for advertising purposes. These can be tricky to write, but it is worth spending some time on. (I'll also edit it too). I'd like to have the paragraph sometime in the next two weeks, if possible. And a phone number in case I need to get up with you.
The 2005 Free Verse Editions books are coming out in print as I speak. They will be up on the web within a week.
Again, warm congratulations! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Yours,
Jon

On Punning
Having reviewed, oh so briefly, Mullen's Recyclopedia for the University of Arizona Poetry Center's newsletter, I felt compelled to dip back into my old notebooks where I came across these jottings (some of them cited, some of them not) on the pun:
An ambidexterity. An excess of extra-intentionality. Meaning too, not meaning to. Ashbery’s notion of “ventilation” in response to what Michael Palmer calls “the fragility of signification.” Leaps of de-concentration. Begressions. Besemblances. The wrong that is more than right. Unsureity. A way to “live against" the diachronic. A coming alive in finitude. A "flowing focus." Hejinian–“an endless radiating of denotation into relation.” McHugh–“the glowing through.” Gaps, leaps, glances, flirtations askance. Torques. A way and away. A part and apart. In-stances. A whelter of slippages. Slidings. McHugh, again: “All is less and all is more, than is can say.” Predication. Postdication. Indication. Outdication. Again: “At a distance, something intimate (outimate) is being done. Over and over, inside a single human head, something far-reaching occurs. Something begins by ending, or ends. . .” Again and a gain. Re-expressions. Obstreporousness. Clandestiny. The play of surface (ahh, oh, um, uh-huh) over and against depth (love, self, world, body). McHugh again: “ . . . an enegery outbounding its visible materials, and referring through every -struction (in-, con-, de-, and decon-) to the uncontainable, that intuited spirit or gist or Geist we sense as living’s ungraspable essential.” Historection. Historindirection. Undecidability which is not indecision. At-onceness. Neither-nor-ness.
