I'm still confused about what to do with the finished compilation... But, we can worry about crossing that bridge when we come a bit nearer to it.<BR/><BR/>Also maybe I ought to front page this thought - anyone with thoughts, news links, etc. relating to art (in the broad sense we use it, including handycrafts etc.) and politics is more than welcome, is strongly encouraged to post them here. Anyone who is not a member, post in a comment thread and let us know that you'd like to become a member. This is meant to be a community, an online gathering place... Awh, what's the use. Nobody cares, except listener, of course. *sinks head onto chest* It's very discouraging.Catreonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959115298646880631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17747558.post-1139263141080183912006-02-06T16:59:00.000-05:002006-02-06T16:59:00.000-05:00Puddle, please contact Shelley and Phil to clear i...Puddle, please contact Shelley and Phil to clear it with them.

Fiction doesn't seem appropriate to me); ideally, these should be anti-war poems, though poems relating to the hardships of the Iraqi people would be good too. *scratches head* You mentioned, listener, getting hold of Anne and seeing if any of her vets have poems they would be interested in contributing. This seems to me an excellent idear. Can you contact her, or should we try to snag her on HEP? I don't just now remember the URL of her new North East Kingdom blog; if we could find that, this project might form a nice collaboration between the two groups. Am I being too ambitious here?<BR/><BR/>One thing that I try to keep the focus on over at DAFD is the plight of journalists, both foreign journalists kidnapped etc. in Iraq and those reporting on the war/occupation held by the U.S. Maybe someone could do something with this topic. I've wondered if it's something that should be highlighted here, though journalism is a cousin, so to speak, not a sibling to the creative arts. Still, it is not wholly unrelated to our central motive force, so to speak. I donno. I've written one little poem, and shall exert myself to do something more and better. But, I can't do much; certainly, for this project to work, we're gonna need help. Catreona and listener can't doo it all alone, guys.

It's an easy date for me to remember.
