Glad to know you're reading and tha...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />Glad to know you're reading and thanks for the compliment. Crunching assets, I know what you mean! <br /><br />We don't know why AR was hacked, but we will be back soon. They're working on rebuilding the site and launching it anew, I'm told. Around early May.<br /><br />I didn't know Anthology One had an Amazon page, but I'm happy to find out. Just because Jaimes is listed as editor doesn't give him digital (or any other) rights to things either in the anthology or workshopped on the site. E-rights are a vague and mushy legal area, but I know a little about print copyrights from publishing books. My lawyer says that rights are like an onion, you can peel and still have rights left. Anthology One used reprint rights, but those remain with the author, typically. I didn't sign anything giving away my reprint rights, either electronic or print, so they remain with me for work printed in the anthology. AR has the right to reprint the entire anthology, but I doubt that's going to happen.<br /><br />I doubt there will be a Two, Three or Four. The AR is run by a different crew now, with Jaimes far in the background. We have no funds for print ventures, and doubt we will in future. The press really doesn't exist anymore, and was a brief phenomenon. Hope that helps explain things.Rachel Dacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754712503067644226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144957.post-25271654624011579342009-04-28T09:29:00.000-07:002009-04-28T09:29:00.000-07:00Hi, Rachel,

Haven't bought your books yet cuz I'm a tight-purse and now there's a credit crunch on and all my assets are crunching.<br /><br />Mark Doty is also one of my fave poets. Must re-visit.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Anthology-One-Jaimes-Alsop/dp/0976195402/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240934326&sr=1-1<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Anthology-One-Jaimes-Alsop/dp/0976195402/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240934326&sr=1-1" REL="nofollow">JAIMESALSOP</A>· ISBN-10: 0976195402 <br />· ISBN-13: 978-0976195405 <br />· Product Dimensions: 9 x 6 x 0.6 inches <br /><br />If that link did not work go to Amazon.com and click on books, type in Jaimes Alsop as the author; legally speaking he is described as the editor under the authorship of Alsopreview Publishers.<br /><br />Does anyone wonder why www.alsopreview.com was supposedly hacked and took a hard smacking from some unscrupulous (Chinese) hacking club?<br /><br />Well, it looks as if Jaimes Alsop has legal digital rights to the copyright of the entire website (including the workshopped poems). He has reproduced selected poems for the Anthology Number One. Presumably there will follow an Anthology Number Two, followed by an Anthology Three and Four, which will probably include your workshopped poems. He has legal entitlement as long as he accredits said poems with your names and pseudonyms. It will be interesting to see if any of these authors receive any monetary reward for their literary endeavors. I surmise that there will be very little surplus after the publishing expenses and admin/labour (copy and paste is very hard work y’know) fees have been claimed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
