List Will Alter World View
Dear Sirree,
Liberation's one thing, rip-offs are another. Your reviews of Dennis List's Kitset of 26 Poems rightly place it as about the most valid book of NZ poetry since Jim Baxter's Fallen House; but, friends, copies of List are still un-sold, so why the crap about xeros copies of the text The books a beautiful production, is only 70 cents, and it's not as if small presses like Amphedesma are exactly making fortunes. I happen to know that one of the Amphedesma men is near enough to starving in Brixton, London, to get these goodies on the market. Their hang-up (and this, Mr Editor, is where Marx comes in) is that the means of distribution are University Book Shops, who don't have a Wellington branch. Which means you may have to order to get one. For your own sake, though, read it. It'll alter your world view more than Barry MacGuire will.
Peace,
Russell G Poole.
P.S. What the fuck does "Amphedesma" mean anyway?
