Well, we haven’t been publishing Rock Heals for a few years now — despite a couple attempts to restart it. And maybe it’ll come back some day…

But in the meantime, our previous software install was full of security holes (see “not doing anything with the site for a few years”) and our host told us we better ship up our shape because we were becoming a security risk for their servers (and therefore all their customers). Whoops!

So a little birdy helped us with a quick-and-dirty transition to a standard WordPress platform that’ll keep the content available for those who know and love it.

Cheers.

And thanks, birdy.

Dollar dollar bills, y’all. (No really, look, they are singles… that’s how we roll in the high stakes poetry world)

If you are in Baltimore on this Saturday (10/5) go to the latest installment of i.e. reading series and hear/meet Beth Joselow, Phyllis Rosenzweig, Aldon Nielsen.
We’ve never pointed out how intimate an affair the i.e. readings are and how it is always a great place to strike up a conversation with the readers and Baltimore art-types. So get on down there!
Get the details over at the i.e. site.
