Searching for Mike Romoth

May 8, 2011 2:01 AM

MIKE ROMOTH slacks in Seattle.

I think in 1899 or 1900 (the dark, pre web-2.0 Internet), while pursuing somewhere like http://bud.com or http://memepool.com, I came upon The Patience Sutra, but Mike Romoth.

I love this poem on so many levels and always wanted to read more of his writings, but Google doesn't turn up much - a single article in the village voice. Maybe a zine? What?

Does Mr. Romoth have anything published? Any good? Where to find it?

He seems to have a MySpace page if you want to try sending him a message. (I'm guessing that is the same person because the city matches this poetry editorial published under his name).

Amazon has some used books from Seattle booksellers. There are no details, but I work near Wessel & Lieberman and could ask to see their book if you're really curious.

Response by poster: Actually, if he still lives in Denver (and I live in Denver), then I'll just contact him a little more directly.

Google had lots of hits of a design studio in *Denver*, which made me believe it was not the same as the weird poet from Seattle, especially since the coincidence of presently living in the same town seem too great - and we probably hang out within the same social circle. Heh, I probably have drank with the guy. DUh!
