Par for the course Tina. It\u2019s f***ing hard to get published and only getting harder as the medium dies out. <em>Bushwhack<\/em> is a powerful vision, a provocative book, finding a home for it a huge challenge under any circumstances. We must not weaken. We\u2019ve decided to drum up a videopoem version and a gallery show which should help raise its profile and find a publisher. Ultimately. It took (too many) years to get <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php?#!\/pages\/Three-Blocks-West-of-Wonderland\/187660129350?ref=ts\"><em>Three Blocks West of Wonderland<\/em> <\/a>published.
