A survey of Beat Poet-inspired Bloomingtonians from 1987, "Beat Goes On" from the IDS, can be found in the David Wade photo album (the article includes a David Wade poem, "Wino Waka"). There's also a closeup of the accompanying photo of David Wade.

My Bloomington visit is already bearing fruit: visit the DAVID WADE PHOTO ALBUM to see recent photographs of David Wade, as well as a growing number of David Wade poems... I did interview David Wade at length while I was in Bloomington, but it may be a while before I can work those notes into something I can post! In the meantime, more poems will be appearing soon. And—the biggest news of all: David Wade is hoping to come out with at least one new book within the next year or so. Keep your fingers crossed! Finally: thanks again to Danielle, who helped out enormously during my stay (but it was fun, too!).

Good news, David Wade Fan Club members. David Wade is living in Bloomington, and he is working on a new book of poetry. Ed and I spent hours (and hours and hours) looking at microfish and watching old tapes at local libraries. We were able to find a video recording of Mr. Wade performing his poetry at Snowy Night in the late 1980's. (Video to be posted soon. ) Ed is meeting with David Wade today (!) and will be sending an update soon.

I too saw God . . . in a tree
and would love to hear that album again

Thank you, Ed, for inviting me to the group.

I'm adding a photo of David Wade from the back cover of "Hungry Horse in a Blank Field"—I presume that's OK...

Danielle: good point. If anyone has PHOTOS of David Wade, or can at least get a screen cap from the Snowy Night video, please drop me a line.

Does anyone have a photo of David Wade. Maybe we can get a still from the video of Snowy Nights.

He actually gave me an autographed copy of "Hungry Horse" but it's long vanished in one of my many trans-continental moves. Looks like the used booksellers still have copies for cheap though. Another quest!
