Like leaves on the wind... Now that’s distribution!

Not long ago, Doug Holder sent out an announcement about his newest micro-chap release, Eating Out, published by the Poems-for-All Project out of Richard Hansen’s 24th Street Irregular Press in Sacramento, California. What a lovely enterprise! Tiny booklets “scattered around town — on buses, trains, cabs, in restrooms, bars, left along with the tip, stuffed into a stranger’s back pocket...” or mailed on request for the cost of postage. They’ve been doing it since 2001, and we just want to say BRAVO!
