They Are Flying Planes
They Are Flying Planes is a jumbo package that deftly bridges lo-fi and swank. It could hardly be better:
Here’s a photo showing a spread and two items included in this issue of TAFP; it comes courtesy of Richard Owens’s detailed write-up at Damn the Caesars.
A hefty double-signature of poems printed large and bound with care; four tipped-in poetic inclusions; two CDs, poetry and then music; plus a great chapbook by Mike Basinski. There’s a Buck Downs poem on the CD, and another in the magazine.
This is issue #2. Issue #1 was popular enough that they printed a second, travel-friendly version to complement the wide format run, but don’t wait for that to happen again. Write to They Are Flying Planes and get in on the fun.

Hey, Buck,
Awesome seeing you last night and catching up. Please send me lots of poems and postcards and I’ll think about what you said - starting furniture press from the bottom up.
Keep in touch!
