Geoffrey
Skinner’s Spilt Ink
Catalog of Writings
Note: Most pieces are in the order of their
submission to the group, per code number preceding each piece (titles lacking
“SI Submit” not submitted to group). Version letter following code is of most
recent revision. Submission date shown
is of earliest (“A”) version. List
includes other writings not yet submitted or unsubmitted.
Emendations by BPK (date and title
changes/additions from files and minutes, title additions from directory
folders) are in blue. In addition, titles have had initial articles switched to
the end and dates have been reformatted in YYYYMMDD style to facilitate sorting
of tables (these changes are not in blue). Note that when a day (DD) is entered
as 00 the day is unknown. Submit dates given as “NYD” indicate pieces not yet
distributed. Submit dates given as “CHAP” indicate pieces distributed only as
part of a chapbook; these pieces were never reviewed. Codes have been added
(new third column) indicating what chapbook(s) pieces have appeared in, if any.
Additions
from chapbooks, writing exercises, and other sources not previously cataloged
by Geoffrey are in red.
