ANOTHER REASON FOR POETS TO READ MORE

Based on Ron Silliman's latest linkie list, I understand that the Poetry issue that contains a Flarf/Conceptual Poetry section has a back cover with an oversized bar code (click on link).

Richard Tuttle did it too for Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge's 1998 book NEST (Kelsey). More recently, I recall seeing it on both front and back covers of Chelsey Minnis' POEMLAND (Wave Books, 2009). And I'm pretty sure I've seen that bar code elsewhere on another book cover whose title I just can't recall at the moment as I write this blog post ('twas a black and white cover and I think the press was based in San Francisco).

Moi peeps are smart peeps so I won't belabor the conclusion hinted at here...
