Press
ForWord Message Board
May 10, 2002
Hello
from the depths of the
binary! This news item is
just to let everyone know
that the new Press ForWord
site will be up and
running in two weeks. The
site will have all the
regular features that this
site already has and some
new ones that we will be
introducing periodically
post-launch.
We
would like some help from
you, our listeners.
If
there is any features or
improvements that you
would like us to focus on
or implement, let us
know. We have a lot
of ideas in mind but do
not want to overwhelm or
dilute the overall focus
of this site, literature.
Email us and we will
communicate our ideas to
see if they fly with any
of you who are interested
in hearing them.
Again, that email address
is
pfw-inc@pressforword.org
Thanks:-)
April 15, 2002
From now on, all Press
ForWord, Inc. related correspondence
will be directed here: pfw-inc@pressforword.org

"The Listener"
correspondence, comments,
etc., will be directed
here: listener@pressforword.org

A
note on The

you for your continued

The
day after and already we
at Press ForWord, Inc.
aren't satisfied! We are
in the process, as always,
of totally revamping this
site! It will take some
time, so bear with us as
we deal with code and
personal tastes. Believe
me, it will be beautiful
in the end! Again, please
visit our main focus right
now, The
Listener
.
We believe that this zine
is the first of many steps
of Press ForWord, Inc.
related affairs. Come
along with us for the
ride.
Oh,
and to the very first
person to sign our Guestbook,
thank you whoever you are!
We encourage those who
would like more
information on Press
ForWord and The Listener
to email us at pressforword@hotmail.com
.
Unfortunately,
our email servers were
down ever since yesterday.
So, whomever sent us
messages at either jsant/listener/pfw-in@pressforword.org,
please resend them
to this address pressforword@hotmail.com
. We sincerely apologize
for any inconvenience, we
are doing the best that we
can given the
circumstances and should
have those other email
addresses up and running
soon. We would ask that
people send us comments,
suggestions, submissions
and opinions based on both
this site and The
Listener. Again, thank you!

The
day is here. The Listener
is now online. Please
understand, note, tell
your closest and closet
loved ones...the literary
world has a new
chapter...now
digitized! This is for
real. We are for real.
Poets. Authors. Artists of
the twenty-first century
order. Our motto:
Always a
work in progress, will you
please...
Listen

Can
you hear it? Oh yeah. The
Listener is on its way.
That's right, The
Listener. Tell your
friends, neighbors, and
local homeless, the
inaugural issue E-zine of
Press ForWord Inc. is on
its way! Next Wednesday,
March 20, 2002. It
is an important date in
the literary world. Why?
We are pushing the spiral
ahead. We want to and will change the face
of words as we all know
it. There are many reasons
why this change MUST
take place.
We
shall explain. But if you
have ever felt that you're
imagination is being
supplanted by another's
will or that it has been
numbed off, you will
understand our
mission.
Again,
we encourage open
feedback. Thank you.

AH,
the burdens of being
upright!!! The e-zine???
Half-way done. SCORE!!!
Yes, we at Press ForWord,
Inc. just said
score.
Changes....
David
Casey, soon-to-be famous
independent filmmaker has
decided to go on
sabbatical. We miss you
already David! We want to
wish him the very best in
his pursuit at that thing
speculated to be
happiness.
No
one has signed our
guestbook (located in the
menu, on your left;-).
Why? Do we suck? Am I the
only person willing to
look at this hideous black
background, red letters
for more than a minute???
Is a facelift in order?
Have no fear... changes
are on the way. Nothing
spectacular, but I think
you will enjoy them
nonetheless. Seriously, we
would like to know who you
kind folks are so that we
may say thanks and
possibly let you know via
email when the e-zine goes
online and when we just
want to say...hello:-)
I
think we need a hug.

Kurt
and Jon are watching
Hedwig and the Angry
Inch. Jon just
laughed and said
"that's rock and
roll, man!" Yes
Jon, you're right.
That's rock and
roll.
good
news: Kurt finished his
novel. He's training
for the New York Marathon
now. Jon made it
back from Paris
alive. David hates
rock music. He is
almost finished with the
Walkmen video he started
in vain.
bad
news: Kurt finished
his novel. Now he's
got another one rolling
around in his head.
Classes start for Jon on
tuesday. Back to the
HardCore. David is
fastidiously dodging the
porn videos they want him
to cut. Vast Video
is going down (don't tell
them I said that).
Oh
yeah, the zine. It rocks
major booty! You will be
informed. Trust...

Hello
again. We are proud to
announce that progress of
the zine is running
smoothly and we are
looking at an early-mid
February release date.
WOOHOO!
We
have added a guest book at
the immediate left of the
page, please feel free to
add your name to our Press
ForWord friends list. We
look forward to hearing
from you.
January

AH!
It's a new year and we at
Press ForWord, Inc.
couldn't be happier! We
are very excited to inform
the hordes out there that
the zine is being worked
on as of this typing and
that it will be damn near
revolutionary. It is
literary at its heart,
since we are writers, but
it is twenty-first century
in scope. Trust me, all
will be made clear in
about a month (cross your
fingers!).
In
the meantime, we encourage
you to get out there and
write, compose, whatever
to get your voice out
there. No matter what.

It
is a warm, yet gloomy day
in New York City. The
world as it stands is in a
rapid state of war. A war
with so many facets and
perspectives that it is
getting harder and harder
to see the truth. Anyway,
as mentioned below, Press
ForWord is also in a
constant flux and the next
step in that progression
(we hope, anyway) is that
of a News Group. You've
seen those before, right?
Good. If not, don't worry,
it's harmless.
Rules
for the Press ForWord news
group:
1)
When you post, you must be
naked...just
kidding.
Seriously
though, be kind, helpful,
and open.
Press
ForWord News Group
Peace.

We
at Press ForWord are
working very hard on a
number of different
literature based products
that will most surely
please, or sadden, your
individual eyes. (Doesn't
that sound so
pretentious!!! Hehe!)
Seriously
folks, the literary
movement WILL NOT BE
TELEVISED!!!
It
will be DIGITIZED!
"Well,
what does that mean? Are
you just another
pretentious poet(s) that
think they are
revolutionary? You think
the internet hasn't tried
and failed to succeed the
print publishing world?
Even Stephen King tried,
and even he failed? WHAT
MAKES YOU ANY
DIFFERENT?"
First
and foremost, as our
Mission Statement so
poetically states, we are
in this to "keep
literature alive...help it
grow in the sun."
This is important to me as
a writer(s) in that we
have this voice, but this
voice has no volume
without a reader. Without
someone reading these
words, they may exist, but
they hold no significance
whatsoever. So, here we
are, online, sharing. This
does not mean that there
will be no print material.
We love paper. Believe me,
there is nothing better
than the smell of a nice
paperback. Even if you
lost your ability to
smell, the mind would
always remember that
smell. Second,
we
are a NON-PROFIT
organization. This company
is not in it to make any
money (we have to feed
ourselves, but we are
doing the best that we can
with all of our strengths).
As of this moment, we are
here to spread the message
that we are here. That we
have a voice that must be
read. We want to
change the face of the
literary world because the
times that we live in
demand it. The words
demand it. We encourage
reader-writer interaction
as much as possible, so
feel free to email us at
address below. Thank you. Itinerary
/ Things to look forward
to from Press ForWord: 1.
Political E-Zine. Name TBA.
Expect this to be our
initial and thought out
take on the recent events
from September 11, on.
There will be an interview
with a well-established
and (damn) important
female poet, along with
essays, art and of course
poetry. 2.
Look for our own work to
be highlighted in our
respective pages. 3.
Expect to see a
well-balanced output
between what we put on the
site and what we will have
in print. We are looking
to have a pamphlet style
newsletter mailing
sometime in the near
future. 4.
Y-O-U. Yes. You. We will
grow in both knowledge and
creativity regardless, but
with you, our audience, we
will have a purpose. So,
please submit your work.
We will be more than
courteous with you.
Believe me, we may all
have our political,
religious, and wacky
ideas/beliefs, but we were
all born naked and
innocent. We have an open
mind and encourage your
willingness to be open
with us as well. It
will be a bumpy ride, but
bear with us, the future,
however uncertain, is
ready to be lived. Let's
do it together. Love, -pressforword
