    How the GPP works: 1) We began by letterpress printing short poems on small cards, these are called broadsides. 2) The broadsides were then mailed to our poets and operatives around the world. 3) The poets and operatives went into bookstores and libraries and covertly smuggled the broadsides into our target books. 4) The broadsides were found by unsuspecting readers. 5) The unsuspecting readers wondered who was behind such a marvelous surprise, and came to the web site to register their find--wherein they discovered a new world of poetry and poets that they never knew existed.

      Editor’s Note

      I've taken the liberty of presenting the work as consistently, page after page, as possible–striving for balance between the individuality present in the poems as originally written, and the book's overall formatting needs. This is most evident in the standardization of poem titles–presenting them in a consistent title case, while the bodies of the poems are presented as originally written, creating some significant differences, poet to poet, in punctuation, grammatical liberties, and even format. Beyond that, a very light (hopefully invisible) editorial hand addressed minor, forgivable grammatical concerns: typos, hyphens, misspelled words (of which, despite much recent criticism, guerilla is not one–look it up)...with extraordinary care given to never change the poet's intent, line breaks, or anything beyond all of the above mentioned. It is my sincerest hope
