Dear Elena,<BR>
<BR>
Yes, I would love to see this poem in Russian and to have it posted in POETRY!SPACE on TMN. I will contact you directly to discuss how to do this. Thank you.<BR>

<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">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.<BR>

<BR>
The first OS poetry chapbook has been printed! It's called<BR>
<BR>
</FONT><BR>
<P ALIGN=CENTER>
<FONT SIZE="5"><FONT FACE="Times">and thus we come alive<BR>
</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Times">POEMS FROM OPEN SPACE<BR>
Volume One, October, 2000<BR>
<BR>
</FONT><BR>
<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>
