I will of course look at the Smokesignals.com article. <BR/><BR/>I subscribed to the Minneapolis Review of Baseball and to its successor, EFQ, for many years, but for some reason (sloth?) I let it lapse.<BR/><BR/>Always enjoyed your rosters. I'm working on one tentatively called the OOOO lineup. Moookie Wilson, Booog Powell, Mooose Haas, etc.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your kind comment.Jim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08221390745888733656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320999636592289224.post-34665792034555196832007-11-02T10:05:00.000-05:002007-11-02T10:05:00.000-05:00Glad to see someone still digs my antique chapbook...Glad to see someone still digs my antique chapbook, "Big League Poets," although it's true that the captions don't really work without the collages. If your No. 2 son ever deigns to return your scanner, you have my permission to scane and use the images. And thanks, by the way, for crediting me properly; some folks don't take the trouble. <BR/><BR/>If you're interested, Smoke Signals online magazine recently ran five of my women big-league poets on its website:<BR/> http://smokesignalsmag.com/OldIssue/MikhailHorowitz.html<BR/><BR/>My one regret with the book is that I did not include the women bards, simply because there were no women playing major league ball, and I wanted the comedic parallel to be exact. In retrospect, I was in thrall to the hobgoblin of a foolish consistency. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, also, for printing the Tom Clark poem, which has always been one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>Finally, are you hip to Elysian Fields Quarterly, which comes out of your home state? I'm a contributing editor, with a regular column of fanciful rosters and occasional poems and book reviews. Their website is efq@citilink.com.<BR/><BR/>Best, Mikhail HorowitzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320999636592289224.post-80903209831707570542007-10-27T14:45:00.000-05:002007-10-27T14:45:00.000-05:00While we're on the subject, I'll go ahead and plug...While we're on the subject, I'll go ahead and plug my own baseball essay, which originally appeared in the special baseball issue of <I>New Letters</I>, which also included poetry by the late, great Royals pitcher Dan Quisenberry. My essay is reprinted in the Northfield Arts Guild's <I>Writers' Night</I> e-zine (Fall 2004), available for download as a PDF <A HREF="http://www.northfieldartsguild.org/Files/All in the Family.pdf" REL="nofollow">here</A>.
