Cold Eye Anthology Nearly Ready

Speaking of which, I have finished a draft of Cold Eye, the anthology of 1978 Portland writing I've been contemplating for fifteen years now.

Just goes to show. Never give up on an idea, particularly a good one. In this modern era, when publishing is easier than a-b-c, this project became a natural. The book has fourteen fine poems in it, and great interviews with some of Portland's best writers, who were young at the time, but doing their part among Portland's vast community, even then, of writers.

K.C. wrote a fine intro for the book, as he helped shape it years ago and at one point thought about publishing it through his Irvington Press.

I'll put it up at http://lulu.com/ in a few days.
