  • Sounds great ~!!

    I am sending a check to CMAA for extra copies (unfortunately, I am too stupid to use PayPal).

  • Can't wait for my copy to arrive in the snail mail. I especially want to read the two items from Catherine Pickstock. Did I hear that Pope John Paul asked to meet her after hearing about (reading?) her earlier book, "After Writing"? That would have been around 1999.
  • Yes, that's right. And she was responsible for getting the 62 at St. P's in New York. She only needed to ask the Cardinal. She can be very compelling.
  • I just picked up the samples off from the printer (it mailed late last week). I'm completely astounded by the issue and wholly pleased in every way. It is monumentally big, and contains some of the best work I've seen.
