<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Cris,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have also one - in Russian. Would you like to
have it? It is a very big poem, discribing nearly all the process of the OS I
provided for members of the Program Open World on the 7-8-th of September, the
report of which I hope is on the WWW of US Congress Library and OSI - Open
Society Institute (Soros Foundation), and which I did not present to OSLIST -
probably not good.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best wishes</FONT></DIV>

2000<BR><BR></FONT>
<P><FONT face=Times>Thanks to: Corcom for the idea, Toke for the title
line, Peggy and osi-usa for covering initial printing, and Ward for making the
delivery to Berlin!<BR><BR>The chapbook is very simple - white paper, folded
over and stapled, 33 pages, 28 poems, 19 poets. But the power of this
little book is astonishing. Our wise teachers tell us that Open Space
has both form and essence. Reading this chapbook leaves me believing
that poetry is a marvelous medicine indeed for enticing the essence to reaveal
Itself.<BR><BR>The chapbook will be available for free in Berlin (those lucky
ones). If you're not going to OSonOS, the whole version is now posted in
item 6, POETRY!SPACE, Vol.1, at The Meta Network (if you've never joined, it's
free at www.tmn.com/new/ ...where it asks for a sponsor, type in
openspace). You can post new poems in Item 10, POETRY!SPACE, Vol.2,
OPEN.<BR><BR>If you would like a paper copy of this little book, send me three
dollars and I'll mail you one. Any collection of extra dimes I collect
in the process I'll send on to osi-usa (I don't think I've paid my dues
anyway...)<BR><BR></FONT>
