MAURICE GIRODIAS INTERVIEW
I usually printed five thousand copies of each book, and paid a flat fee for the manuscripts which, although modest, formed the substance of many an expatriate budget.  My publishing technique was simple in the extreme, at least in the first years: when I had completely run out of money I wrote blurbs for imaginary books, invented sonorous titles and funny pen names and then printed a list which was sent out to our clientele of book-lovers, tempting them with such tittles as White Thighs, The Chariot of Flesh, The Sexual Life of Robinson Crusoe With Open Mouth, etc. They immediately responded with orders and money, thanks to which we were again able to eat, drink, write and print.  I could again advance money to my authors, and they hastened to turn in manuscripts which more or less fitted the descriptions.

VOICE OF AMERICA
I have heard the Voice of America
screaming in its sleep
only to wake and claim
that it never dreams
I have heard the Voice of America
crooning to its lover
"It's over
Do it again."
I have heard the Voice of America
an ashen whisper
a mad hissing
a croakthroat announcer
spewing bad vibes
a crackpot coloratura
yodelling "Dixie"
in a vacuum
cleaner
(the dog is shedding
the god is shedding
his grace on thee)
I have heard the Voice of America
clam up

but not for long
The Voice in its Voiceness
is compelled to give voice to
its opinions, its options,
its worries, its stresses,
its tastes and preferences,
its demands
I have heard the Voice of America
Howling
at a lunar eclipse,
coming through one hundred
drive-in movie theater speakers,
coming through one thousand
Japanese transistor radios,
encumbered with one million
star-spangled mannerisms
I have heard the Voice of America
speaking softly, softly
and carrying the biggest
fucking stick anyone
has ever seen

more....
