DRY CRIK Journal

Michael,

Glad Google found you here. My letter to your 10 year-old address informing of the launch of the “Lost Issue” was returned. For those that don’t know, the Ucross Foundation is located on a 22,000 acre ranch in Wyoming offering an artists-in residence program while employing holistic practices in their cattle operation, a model for the sustainable preservation of ranch landscapes, among other things.

I was a subscriber to Dry Crik Review at the time it stopped publication and had just got up nerve enough to submit. I've changed my e-mail address since then but would like to have this one on your list. I would also like to hear if you decide to accept submissions again. Like you, there is something satisfying and natural about a bound book in the hand or on the shelf but I sure enjoyed reading the "lost" issue. I hope you can keep this going. Maybe I'll eventually get something to you that you like enough to use.

Del

Thanks Del, it’s good to hear from you!

Unfortunately, the ‘Lost Issue’ has been subject to a couple of moveable type upgrades that has changed punctuation and spacing in a good many of its pieces. I had hoped the online format would allow publication of some good work that I had been sitting-on for far too long. But it’s still not a book.

As I get closer to the end of my string, I’d like to start publishing again to perhaps leave a little something worthwhile behind. Taking it one step at a time, Dry Crik plans to publish a collection of short stories by Chip Martin set in California in 1970. After that, who knows?

If you’ve got something you’d like to submit, email it to dry_crik@yahoo.com
Maybe we’ll start another online issue of Dry Crik Review.
Thanks again for checkin’-in.
