editor's note -- Episode #1


Rabbit Light Movies started on a lark. I feel mixed about awp. It's fun to see so many friends. It's less fun

to overhear bookfair wanderers ask about submissions guidlines.

My friend Julie Doxsee and I were living in Denver at the time, and I decided I'd make some dvds of little movies

of us reading. I was excited because Octopus Books had just published our chapbooks in their 8 chapbook set.

So, the night before we left for Atlanta, I went over to Julie's apartment--when she lived across from the Thin Man

and filmed her reading The Knife Grasses. I drove home on Colfax and filmed the traffic. That footage

became the background for this.

That night I "edited" them and burned 99 dvds to pass out in Atlanta. I'm happy it's grown to this.
