In progess despite delays
The long awaited Salacious Banter issue of Burdock is being put together and will hopefully be out in March. The norm in the past has been two issues a year and hopefully once this one is done another burdock will be out in the summer. Money is always an issue of course.
Also....
Burdock had a booth at the 2009 Zinefest held in Milwaukee at the Polish Falcon. It was interesting to see what the definition of zine is to most folks. If anything it only served to reaffirm Burdock's status as a "Humble Magazine" rather than a "Zine" since there are many contributors of a original content in each issue. A confusing point to myself was that all of the other poets there had no idea what a "chapbook" was. So now if anyone else out there is an authority on the subject please leave a comment defining it for me.
If you publish a small collection of your own poems is it still a chapbook or is it a zine?
Is it a zine if there are no words at all? Is it a zine simply because it is cheaply made?
And therefore is Burdock a zine since I often print it on a shoestring budget?
Are the chapbooks teppichfresser press publishes considered zines?
Why can't people say complete words and feel the need to shorten them up?
Does "maga-" take up too much time?
Or is "Zine" just that much cooler?
Your thoughts please....

Salacious Burdock?
After a nice clean summer break Burdock 7 is in the works. The plan is to have a Salacious Banter theme with Mike Hauser twist. Mike will be lending a hand with the solicitation/editorial direction(ing) for the next issue and I (keith) will just be piecing it together and making it look like the other issues (ya know, the sticker thing).
Salacious Banter is a reading series run by Mike Hauser and Karl Saffran. Past readers include Lewis Warsh, CA Conrad, John Coletti, Kevin Thurston, Ara Shirinyan, Gina Meyers, and John Koethe among others. In fact you should probably just go to the link to get a complete list of past readers.

Mark Your Calander
July 27 is the day of Jon Lohr's going away party. The young lad who has for the better part of the past two years assisted in every teppichfresser publication starting with Burdock IV all the way to the upcoming re-print of Chris Gaton's 1984 chapbook "Of Grenada"
To celebrate we are planning on combining the two events at what was once the site of one of Gaton's favorite Riverwest Bars: "Suds".
Though Suds no longer exists the beer garden still does and happens to have good shade and seating for a small audience (which is what Gaton expects at an event with his name on it!)

The Next Big Thing
Don't ask why but despite having regular internet access now I haven't posted on the blog here since February.
Well, maybe I haven't hand anything interesting to talk about for a month and a half!
Thursday May 21, The Feast of the Accension will be vegitarian. Because Issue 6 of Burdock will have its release reading that day at Karl Saffran's place!
The issue is coming along and the reading list is expanding. In addition to that I've asked Dolly Lemke to help with selections and solicitations for the issue.
More information will be along as it occurs to me to provide it.
soooo
Until next time, you are encouraged to listen to Grand Funk Railroad.
