here i was, innocently at work in the writing center at umass dartmouth when one of the tutors beside me started to google herself and go on about it. i hadn't played the google-myself game in a little while, so i joined her.
only to find a mention of my work in an anthology i'd never heard of.
the link was to the loewak institutue, dating back to October 5th of this year.
i read, and followed the link to for godot where, after a little searching, i found myself giggling in the back of the center over the absurd array of sarcasm, wit, fury and disdain cluttering the comments section of this announcement.
the 4000 ish page anthology, free for download, can be retrieved from either of the two sites above; though, i reccommend you save it as a file, otherwise it takes an age to open.
my name is on page 299 under a little poem.
ashraf is on page 1450
craif perez is on page 2664
there are almost 4000 poets (most, i assume, with internet presence). some of your friends are probably listed in this massive anthology too.
and so? well, so, i didn't write that poem. ashraf didn't write the one he's been credited with. craig, i'm pretty sure, didn't write the one above his name either.
check out all the comments on for godot. this is beautiful controversy at work.
i can't wait for the next issue ^_^

Interesting... Very interesting idea. I'll read the comments later, and try to figure out what the intentions of the project are (and how I feel about it)... But very interesting; thanks for letting me know!
