SMALL INSIGHT ON DISTRIBUTION

According to his online biography, the poet C.P. Cavafy "never offered a volume of his poems for sale during his lifetime; his method of distributing his work was to give friends and relatives the several pamphlets of his poems that he had printed privately and a folder of his latest broadsheets or offprints held together by a large clip." This is the way John Ramington distributed his poems. This is also the primary method of the poet Owen Ames whose lines are cited from time to time in this blog.
