Bound TEXT/UREs

Word It is my pleasure–my relief, really–to at long last present the following fortuitous array of text poets and picture makers who have allowed me the liberty to present or montage, like arranged marriages, all of whom were my Facebook Friends at one time or another between the two dateranges of April 20tthh through May 21sstt, 2013; and April 20tthh through September 12tthh, 2015, when this “montagerie” – this hierogamos, serialized into a passion play in twelve acts – was composed.

To those who still “follow,” I am humbled; to those who left the reservation, happy trails.

Mike Castro,, PPuubblliisshheerr,, OOppPPRREESSSS
