Once more for everyone interested in Pound in Czech: I logged in the Internet book store in my place and ordered some copies of the discussed book of selected poems (really happy to find it). With some bugs (the store is just starting)the electronic order has been accepted without any objections. After three hours I have got a mail from Matthew Sweney of Votobia (Czech publisher) that I am forwarding here: """ Richard Caddel forwarded to me your piece about Votobia´s Chtěl jsem napsat ráj-- unfortunately, the book is long out of print. There are none here in our warehouses--I dont even have a copy myself. Due to increased copyright fees, this book will not be reissued by Votobia, sad to say. If you see any copies in Prague antikvariats, buy them. Thank you for mentioning the book on the Pound discussion chat--I am a graduate of the University of Maine, which is where I met Mikeš (in 1990, and again in 1994) s pozdravem, Matthew Sweney ------------------------------------ Nakladatelství Votobia Votobia Publishers P.O. Box 214 771 11 Olomouc Czech Republic (+420) (68) 523 1890 http://www.votobia.cz """" As I do not know if the mail has been a reaction on my order or on the mail of Richard Caddel, I keep on hoping there will be some copy somewhere in the warehouse...:-). By the way, on the Web page mentioned above I found out that Mikeš is leaving Votobia... Regards michal barda
