Bern Porter FYI

Dear Mr. Fallon,

Thanks for starting a Bern Porter web page. The world could
use one for sure.
I checked it out, such as it is now, and it prompted me to
revise my files a bit (one had awful formating). There are a few
things to clarify that may help people find my Porter reviews and
some of Porter's books. So here goes:

Here are the direct links to my Porter files, which will be better
than starting at the beginning of my web page:

http://www.phys.psu.edu/~endwar/porter.html
-- this is my review of Schevill's biography and Porter's _Less
Than Overweight_, which was published in somewhat modified form
in an issue of _TapRoot Reviews_ (Number 5/6, i think -- a double
issue), with someone else's reviews of a couple chapbook collaborations
with Malok tacked onto the end. On this file i updated the link to
the Plaster Cramp Press web page, which i will give below.

http://www.phys.psu.edu/~endwar/porter2.html
--here's my review/summary of _I've Left_. This one is now
in readable paragraph form, if still in primitive text format
(i.e. courier font).

Also note that these pages are mine, or my responsibility and aren't
official pages of the Penn State Physics Department per se. Your
write up give the impression that my porter reviews are a departmental
effort, and they aren't, really.

Also, concerning your links at the bottom of the page, i'm at the
Pennsylavania State University in University Park (State College),
_not_ the U of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Here's the updated Plaster Cramp Press website -- basically one long
page, with a little information about _Less than Overweight_ near the
beginning, and the ordering information closer to the bottom. Seth
still has copies of the book for $28 postpaid. You can also send $3.20
(with the postal rate increase) and get two pounds of old PCP goodies.
(I got one and it was quite a package!).
So here it is:
http://www.cs.nwu.edu/~tisue/pcp/
(The difference is that the old link went to pcp.html, this goes to
a directory called pcp)

You can also order some Bern Porter books and tapes from Xexoxial
Endarchy in Wisconsin. They've published Bern since the mid 80s.
The front page is:
http://www.net22.com/dreamtime/xe.html
and if you click on the catalog link you go to
http://www.net22.com/neologisms/xe.html
which has three links: Xexoxial Endarchy for books they publish
Xerolage for their Xerox collage zine
and Audio Muzixa qet for audio and video tape.
Porter (not surprisingly) is listed under all three places, so
click on one and look for the artists' sidebar, scroll down to
Porter (under P) and click on "listings" or is name and you'll
see what they have. 4 or 5 books, 1 Xerolage, 4 or 5 audio
tapes, and two videos. Postage is 15% or $1, whichever is
larger.

Incidentally, some of my own work is at:
http://www.phys.psu.edu/~endwar/lit.html --
go to the bottom and there are a few links to stories and things.
One of those is the poem "With God All Things Are Possible", which
was composed using a dictionary semi-randomly. I sent a
printed copy to Bern and he copied some for the first issue of
the _Bern Porter International_.

Also there is a link to IZEN, which is my micropress.
