Frank O’Hara Feature
. . . Perhaps, despite the pejorative flavor of the word, it might be more accurate to call them a ‘coterie’ — if we define as coterie a group of writers rejected by the literary establishment who found strength to continue with their work by what the anarchists used to call ‘mutual aid’.
— John Bernard Myers

Letters to the Editor
Michael Rothenberg, Red Slider
Jacket carried this notice in January 2000:
Does poetry really eMatter? The strangely-named Fatbrain electronic publishing company is featuring poetry on a special, highlighted section of its MightyWords site this April. Here’s the editor, the melodiously-named Ximena O’Reilly: ". . . we would like to invite all poets to submit their collections or individual poetry to sell on our site as eMatter. The publishing process and royalty structure is described in detail on our site.... but I would happy to answer any questions. I can be reached at ximenao@fatbrain.com....”
Jacket doesn’t specifically recommend this site, but it may well be worth a look.
Is this the future, and is it here already?
Well, the future peeped over the horizon, and then went away again. Two years later, the MightyWords site posted this notice: ‘We regret to inform you that MightyWords has ceased operations effective January 12, 2002. We greatly appreciate your business and would like to thank you for supporting MightyWords.’
So much for the Internet as a business model for poetry publishing: or should that be ‘so much for poetry as an income-enhancer’?
