But, I do nothing through Implosion Press on-line, other than promotion. I like printed pages. Because it was such a fabulous idea, a needed gathering, AND we were all pretty drunk. The UPC, as originally founded is on sabbatical. I had grandeur ideas of hosting a 98 UPC, but realized I couldn't work 2 jobs, run a magazine, my own business and get all the work needed done to get it going.
Volunteers are also limited.
It's great promotion for published works to read them publicly. I prefer publishing, as I'm not much for crowds or forced conversations. Guess I'm kinda reclusive. I set-up and hosted 4 series and did my own readings quite extensively. There are not too many venues that sell poetry.
