Jeanetta Calhoun Mish at Mongrel Empire Press in Oklahoma has accepted for publication our ms. of Carol’s selected poems called “Everyday is an Act of Resistance” to be out in 2012—in the summer? I think. Julia is happy. I’m stunned. They are looking for an author photo for the book. If you have one you like you can send it on to me.
Also, Randy Fingland at CC.Marimbo Press in Berkeley has accepted for publication in 2012 of my ms. of “What Makes Us Human,” which is the last part of the last book in Carol’s unpublished collected poems ms. She self-published most of the work previously under the title of “Fire.”
The commercial fishermen in Pillar Pt. Harbor staged an industrial action which was successful. The buyers were demanding $2.00 per pound of crab. The fishermen were asking for $2.50. All the commercial boats stayed in the harbor through the Thanksgiving Day weekend with the crab pots conspicuously piled up on the backs of the boats. On the following Monday the buyers offered $2.25 per pound. The fishermen accepted. They were able to do this because they had solidarity all up and down the coast.
The peace sign is back up on Pillar Point. Have a happy holiday, and happy new 2012 with books by Carol posthumously appearing at last.
