Whether or not you like the neo celbrity (???made that up) status of the subjects, I must restate I like the idea of artists interviewing poets, et al. I think it's very fresh for a published magazine. If you interviewed the the musicians of Cabaret Voltaire as a painter, your audience would have a fresh idea, yes?

It's economics, unfortunately, supply and demand. The U.S. is editing art out of its

compared to that it's way, way "outsider." If you are a "small press" writer, do
something about it - go online - this is a great start for your venue - fluxlist!!!!Best,
