[New-Poetry] Re: American Poets Project

[David Graham]

The American Poets Project books all list in their front matter their  
funding sources, which appear to be several private foundations.  No  
government support is noted.

I would suggest that any book or series which is able to make a tidy  
profit would not be in need of such subsidy.  I remain unhorrified by  
the notion that the people working on these books may earn some cash  
for their time & expertise.

In any case, I felt and feel that this is a wonderful publishing  
project, unusual in several respects.  As such it's well worth  
supporting, and even possibly worth discussing in terms of the poetry  
it presents.   If anyone's of a mind. . . .
