      Great project.... so are you still accepting poems for the bomb, or have submissions closed? If still open, what is the snail-mail addy we need? and I'm guessing you are already touring? Is Worcester, MA on your itinerary? Hope so! There's a huge poetry base here. Also have you thought of showing up at the Dodge festival in N.J. or at the Massachusetts Poetry Festival?

      Tremendous thanks to every single person who donated and has given words of encouragement, the love is absolutely appreciated and accepted!! The Poetry Bomb itself is almost completed, the tour is 99 per cent booked, the postcards are in the mail, the t shirts are about to begin, the broadsides are almost complete and right now I am finishing up my morning coffee, the sky is electric with the weather, my wife is watching an old cowboy movie starring Sophia Loren and Anthony Quinn, the cat is sitting in her lap digging the action and the Poetry Bomb is happening!!! Thanks again and POETRY BOMBS AWAY!!!! The Poetry Bomb loves you!!
