    i havent heard anything.

    Could they at least just print up a few of #2? I feel so incomplete!
    Anyone have an extra? I will pay FULL cover price!

    I sold my copies of 1 & 2 for over a bill a piece a few years back.. still not sure why anyone would pay that much.

    I'm in that club ... every issue but #2. I remember that one selling out quickly. RE-PRESS THE MUTHA!

    i know i'm setting myself up her:

    But i truly do not understand the vintage wax poetics collecting thing.
    it's a magazine about records.
    i will go on the record as saying:
    i have never read a full issue of wax poetics.
    i think the layout is nice
    the glossy photos are killer
    but this is a magazine about records.
    which is definitely cool
    but it is what it is

    why are people paying $100 for old copies?
    why are people calling for an anthology?
    this is not a collection of lost poems
    or re-discovered work by the fluxus movement
    or a new volume from harry smith's anthology of american folk music

    when someone says "I NEED[/b] issue No . 2"
    what exactly does this mean?

    I think it's less about the thing in question than it is about the personality types that are drawn to the thing. Herbie Mann completists and whatnot.

    In my case, it means that I would be happy to have it reprinted and sold to me for $6.99 or whatever the price was when it came out.

    None of which I would pay $8 for.

    Hell, you couldn't pay me to read most folks poetry. I get it - you're introspective. Get over yourself already.

    I see it something akin to an encyclopedia set. I find myself going back to old interviews/articles for reference (I know I'm a dork in that sense ... I figured that out long before I decided to go for my masters in library science) and I'd like to have the Bernard Purdie discography on hand. But I don't quiver when I walk by the "incomplete" collection.

    And Push Push is quite enough Herbie Mann for me, thank you.

    Dude, I am not introspective.
    i wouldn't pay $8 for lost poems either
    but i would pay $8 for the brilliance below.
    Absolutely breathtakingly original work
    Spiritual vanguard of the highest caliber
    Exhausting the limits of human creativity to the utmost
    You can not even pretend to ignore the beauty
    That shines from this man's work
    Reimagine
    Awaken

    ALL PRAISE MOWO

    Oh, that wasn't directed at you - just poets in general. Poetry these days seems to be someone taking a regular paragraph and giving it weird line breaks, or putting together random non-sequitors in an attempt to sound Still, it's better than Becky talking about her "sorrow" for two pages.
