The memorial service for Guy Davenport on Saturday, May 7, will be a private affair, unable to accommodate those who admired his writing but did not personally know him. We wish Bonnie Jean all the best and know that elimae readers will respect the need for privacy.

Deron Bauman, founding editor of elimae; Kathryn Rantala, editor of Snow Monkey and publisher/editor of Ravenna Press; and Cooper Renner have joined forces to create Triple Press, a new literary print-on-demand publisher. Emphasis will be on literary authors who are not being served by conventional presses with their large upfront costs. The press's first offering, available later this year, will be Trio by Norman Lock, which will include the texts of Joseph Cornell's Operas and Emigrès, first published in a limited edition by elimae books, along with Grim Tales. Please continue to check the Triple Press site for more information.

Guy Davenport, artist, critic, scholar, translator, poet and short story writer extraordinaire, died on January 4th, of cancer. Davenport's finest stories carried Modernism forward into the second half of the twentieth century and flashed with linguistic brilliance, sharp intelligence, and human warmth. Perhaps his most noted collection of stories is Da Vinci's Bicycle; his Seven Greeks is a translation of the complete works of such ancient Greek writers as Sappho, Archilochos, Heraclitus, and Diogenes. [Both are available from New Directions]. elimae's contacts with Guy over the past several years were marked with kindness and generosity. We extend our deepest sympathies to Bonnie. Guy will be greatly missed. (See the University of Kentucky press release and the notice in the Lexington Herald-Leader.

It has been almost nine years since Deron Bauman founded elimae. During that time he has single-handedly edited and produced the magazine and is now looking forward to other responsibilities. Beginning in January 2005, Cooper Renner, who writes the literary column "In Dissent" for Web Del Sol [www.webdelsol.com], will assume the editorship. With the transition will come a shift in focus. While short fiction and poetry of the very highest order will still be welcome, Renner encourages the submission of jargon-free, non-academic reviews and literary essays, as well as works in translation. More books than ever are being published, but review sources are shrinking, and elimae would like to address that problem, especially on behalf of first-rate writing from smaller and non-mainstream presses -- for example, Norman Lock's A History of the Imagination, from FC2. elimae would also like to encourage reviews of the work of non-English-language writers, even if those works are not yet available in English, in the hopes of sparking translation. Personal essays and memoirs are not invited, but top quality travel writing [observation and engagement, not tourism] is welcome. For more information, email cprrenner at yahoo.com.
