[New-Poetry] Re: Poet's Bookshelf

[Crisman Cooley]

Jim,
Let me know if you want help putting it in an html table.  I am a  
paid (wow:) webmaster for a trade group and when I saw your list  
unseparated I thought of putting it into a table.  Also, I'd be  
willing to help you get the short descriptions David mentioned.   
Sounds like Tad has a website.  I'd like to put it on another site  
too, a new one I'll be building sometime in the fall.  Let me know  
what you'd like-- I like your project and I'd like to help.

Cris
