Entry 1149 — Mail Art Specimen from Guillermo Deisler

One of the finest mail artists and visual poets I’ve known about was Guillermo Deisler, who died in 1995, only 55.  One of his efforts was among the pieces Crag sent me.  Here it is, front and back:

Entry 1157 — SASE from Stephen Perkins

Saturday, July 20th, 2013

I met Stephen Perkins at an Underground Press conference in Chicago.  Back around 1990, I vaguely recall.  Nice guy, prominent in mail-art circles.  I’ve lost track of him since, as I have of many others.  Anyway, among the items in my SASE mail art collection from Crag is this envelope-with-attachment, front side sown first:

Verso of attachment piece:

And the other side of the envelope, sideways:

Entry 1202 — An SASE from Tallahassee

Here’s another SASE from the mail art project to get me through another entry:

Fran Rutkovsky is another mail art name familiar to me.  I used to see (and very much enjoy) stuff by her in Lost & Found Times.  Elsewhere, too, although just whereelse, I can no longer remember.

I’m having another bad day.  Still having e.mail problems.  Still waiting to find out f Staples can retrieve the data on my crashed external hard drive.  I’m having trouble with a set of long division poems I had what seemed 24 hours ago a great idea for.  Oh, well, things could be worse.

SASE Mail Art Project of Crag’s, this blog would be dead.  I am so out of it.

Meanwhile, another disappointment is beginning to build.  It is now three weeks since I sent a proposal to ARTnews hoping to interest them in a piece about visual poetry.  No word back.  I sent them my e.mail address and . . . an SASE!  (No, not a Mail Art one.  Perhaps I shouldda.)  I know, three weeks is no time at all with these things.  In fact, it at least shows they didn’t immediately reject my proposal.  Unless they have such an enormous backlog that they haven’t seen it yet.
