On Saturday, Ron wondered about John Sinclair & the (Detroit) Artists Workshop's short-lived (5 issues) poetry zine Work : "his great magazine Work has had its title appropriated by some folks out in Oakland -- I wonder if they even know the literary heritage of that name."

The short answer is yes.

Work and the Artists Workshop's other one-issue title Whe're were republished as a single volume book in 1974 by Arno Press called Work & Whe're: 1965-1966.

This, however, has little direct bearing or influence on the present WORK project.
