"SURREALITY IS REAL"

is how I am living nowadays...and speaking of which, here's the best cover to a poetry collection ever achieved by Jeff Clark's Quemadura. An unbiased view, of course.

And, Crag Hill snaps some shots of Tom Beckett's Tiny Book! It's worth noting that all of the books are different, but the pics are nifty, I sez again with unbiased eyes.
