Grateful to @jeremylybarger for inviting me to write about Roque and the dark angels he wrestled with in his Poemas clandestinos.

How do other small presses feel about Hachette v. Internet Archive? I side with @internetarchive culturally and politically, and I hope they win the legal arguments. Free public circulation of eBooks improves our ability to support writers, financially as well as culturally.

The legal foundation of @HachetteBooks's attack on @internetarchive is the exclusive rights contract. They can claim to defend author's rights because authors signed all their rights away. Bad move. Authors: use nonexclusive rights contracts. Keep your work in circulation.
Roberto Tejada retweeted
The shell game @HachetteBooks, @penguinrandom et. al. play is their claim to protect the rights of authors. But is that really the case? Whose interests are served by criminalizing @internetarchive? Do other small presses agree with Hachette's premise that IA hurts authors?

Thank you @fullforeground for connecting: "Why the Assembly Disbanded dreams a “society of alternate belonging”—akin to experiments in reading, writing, and community as the “space of appearance” that writer Matthew Stadler envisions as a “polity of literature.”
"Why the Assembly Disbanded is devoted to world-building. It marshals poetry, photography, and politics between the US and Latin America along actual and surreal border zones—with a view that concludes in the cosmos." @MyOtherTongue on @fullforeground
