Howdy NET,
The Vagabond Trust will participate in Poetpalooza, a fundraiser awesome poet Kathy Mac is organizing for the League of Canadian Poets.
It will be on Thursday May 13th in the study hall of Marion McCain Hall on Campus, starting at 8:00 pm. There’ll be a 5 piece jazz band, and sets by the Stand and Deliver Poetry Workshop, the WolfTree Writers, Squirrel
Talk, and The Trust
There is no cost, but as it is a fundraiser for a super-wealthy national poets organization, you might want to bring a couple bucks to throw in the guitar case.

In June of 2000, I released issue #1 of a zine titled, “Mind Bloating (and everything along with it)”. It was an anthology zine, of young writers which ran till 2004, and published a total of 22 issues. This June, it is my intention to produce a ten year anniversary issue, Mind Bloating 2 (and everything ELSE along with it).
Keeping it simple. Classic cut and paste all the way, and a cover price of FREE. I have long lamented/mourned that zines were a dead art due to the rise of the internet. This is something I wish to curb, because despite all the ezines on the web, for me at least, nothing is the same as holding actual paper, assembled by caring, creative hands.
Will it be successful? Don’t know, don’t care. Even with a cover price of free, will anyone pick up a copy? Maybe not! The important thing is, I want to try, and am looking forward to the art project which zining is!
So, to my fellow Trust members, or anyone else who might read this, I am looking for submissions. Poetry, or a short story, or creative rant, a limit of 500 words, possibly 600. If possible, please try to lightly edit your own work. I will read everything myself, and consult the writer if there is an error. Deadline is June 1st-ish, but the sooner the better.
My thanks in advance to anyone who submits! Please forward submissions and any questions to; corenski@hotmail.com
