Bob and Sue Arnold at LONGHOUSE (Guilford, Vermont) announced today that the multiple sequences of poetry that make up their Origin Sixth Series quartet & Coda (five issues in all), which they published as a series of PDF files, is now available as an e-book on CD "with nearly 250 contributors and a whalloping 1,700 colorful pages of poetry, prose, art and photographs."
The CD form is first being issued in a very limited edition of only 100 copies and can be ordered directly from Longhouse at www.longhousepoetry.com for just $20 plus $2.50 first class postage.
Here's the explanation of this remarkable compilation:
To avoid confusion amongst the purists, we have prepared ORIGIN, Sixth Series as a tribute to Cid Corman. No one in his right mind is attempting to do Origin the way Cid would. Impossible. For a rousing history of Origin, please read A Gist of Origin edited by Cid Corman.
This sixth series is a four-issue Origin-set that leafed out during the Spring months of 2007, culminating with a 'coda' issue in December. It is the very last of Origin, ever.
A small part of this series had Cid Corman's personal touch ~ in particular, some of the feature poets names chosen. After Cid's passing, poets were then gathered by editor Bob Arnold as more a celebration to poetry and for Cid. It has became a leafy canopy of many poets from around the world ~ ancients to the remarkably young ~ and all of the set is published as a PDF file. It's meant to read on the screen, and more, to be now shared as an e-book on CD.
Longhouse, all during 2007-8, will release selected poet's titles from the sixth
series published in attractive printed booklets available from our press.
And here's the amazing list of the contents:
