University and North Texas State University degrees, Lowell Fellow at

corps teacher in Ghana, and taught American Literature at

wanderyears in Europe doing grunge jobs like shipyard in Rotterdam, wine

coast where I found love was a pausing place and after 32 years am still

Carol Schneck, Carl Rakosi, Andrea Rubin and many more poets honed
true."

Strange as it is I
still get a thrill when I see these old issues where my hopes were
distilled and my values realized and my absolute surety in the word and
the words were manifest - almost as if these were old baby booties
bronzed and tarnished dragging worn and rotting pastel ribbons in the
dry streams of time. (EM)

Edward Mycue is editor of the Norton Coker Press modern
American poetry series, since 1988. He has published about 80 titles
including most recently Mask in Mime and Puppet by Bari Rolfe, Gajupi
by Paul Polansky, plus books by Gwen Albert, Dan Bellm, Geri DiGiorno,
Ann Erickson, Vincent Farnsworth, Lawrence Fixel, Jack Foley, Frances

Prior to that, he edited
and published 'Took' magazine, for 19 issues ending in 1987. He
reminisces: "Richard created a cover from a Rubens idea of the
three dancing muses. I did it on xerox for pennies. When I did and as I
did. What a love affair it was. It was free to anyone and everyone in it
got ten copies."
