David, In searching old emails, I realize I missed this issue for comment. I don't think 2 weekly issues is a solution. AS IS is pretty good. True, I don't read everything but I can pick and choose. Most of us reading TWT are also reading other weekly newsletters. It's tremendous commitment on your part and a great gift to us. Thank you.
Thanks Summer and especially for your kind words. I have had only a few responses to this question and I did decide to try to be a more diligent editor rather than going to the trouble of making and administering two newsletters, which seems a burden not just on me, but on readers who are already overwhelmed with too much input.
hello from the Peoples Republic of Berkeley, agreed, yes i would suggest smaller groups twice a week as people are more likely to approach If smaller. they are all fantastic..i would never know what to cut out..you might also wish to group by topic.. like climate vs......?? best wishes, thanks ,laura
It's a busy day for me here in L.A., so I had to choose which one to read over lunch: "The Weird Times" or the Sunday N.Y. Times... "The Weird Times" won. I especially like what you included from and about John Giorno, which gives me hope that poets have a place in the landscape despite the deterioration of cultural values. Thanks!
Thank you Alexis. Putting TWT ahead of the NYT is a great compliment. John was such a cool guy and a thorn in the side of normality practiced by anyone.
