1) News of Alaric Sumner Publications

Alaric Sumner: Documentation of his writing and other artistic and related output, version 3 compiled and edited by Lawrence Upton has been published. Type size has been reduced to keep the size in bounds - A4 portrait; Writers Forum; ISBN 978 1 84254 397 X; January 2007

Alaric’s LETTERS for dear AUGUSTINE has been republished in a new edition which incorporates typographical errors in the last edition – this is still only the semantic text i.e. excluding the graphic elements; the graphic edition has been delayed but will appear.
£3.50 + £1.50 (p & p for UK)

2) Website

The website is to be abandoned. Even the ISP has given up and it will all be put down at the end of March. Of recent months, there have been relatively few hits (compared to – if I recall correctly – a couple of thousand in 2004) – readers are fickle; and in all probability the pages will be made a section of the Writers Forum website, which will also move. It will still have its own title page.

The new URL will be announced as soon as it is arranged.


3) Blog

In the meantime, a blog called Remembering Alaric Sumner has been opened at http://alaricsumner.blogspot.com/. That’s the third time I have used "Remembering Alaric Sumner" as a title (firstly for a feature in a web-based magazine; secondly for a small booklet; and now thirdly for a blog. That should keep you on your toes.

The blog will be used for additional information, which will be incorporated into the website when it is transferred. The future of the blog will then be reviewed in April 2007, assuming the transfer has gone well.


4) Documentation of Magazine publication by Sumner

A new datum i.e. not in the Documentation book -
“Start”, a magazine, for June 1996 published “Written while watching a rehearsal / Shallal Dance Theatre” in a version different to that published by Perihelion, as well as an untitled visual poem. More details will be in the next Alaric Sumner: Documentation of his writing and other artistic and related output
