Jim Behrle hand-type and collage of Allen Ginsberg’s cover image of Lee Ann Brown from the first Portable Boog Reader (2000) and Trane DeVore photo. Trane writes: “This giant red sperm whale, designed by Tatsuya Ishii, and its mini progeny can be found floating in the atrium of the HEP 5 shopping mall in Osaka, Japan. The shot was taken with a Voigtlander Bessa-L with a 15mm Voigtlander Super Wide Heliar lens and Fujifilm Superia 400 film.”

I went through my mental rolodex and sent out a call for work from some of favorite poets (and people). As with all other Portable Boog Readers, once you were asked to be in the PBR you were accepted in it. Unlike the previous 12 issues, this one did not have any geographical constraints, with work coming in from throughout the Unted States and as far away as Japan. Enjoy, dak
