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.
