[edit] Video EL

Video is not a suspected copyright infringement--it was uploaded to You Tube by the author, Jordan Davis, who hosts/owns copyright to "The Million Poems Show." He is a friend/colleague of Joshua's, and there are no objections to this link.-Cindery 23:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blog link?

I'm sorry, what's the source verifying that the blog "jane dark's sugarhigh!" is operated by Joshua Clover? I don't find it in the cited source. Thanks for the verification clarification, Jane —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Janedark (talk • contribs) 17:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

"The most fascinating story is that of Joshua Clover, a poet who played what he called The Jane Game in an effort to become more marketable as a writer. Passing as a rock critic with the persona of Jane Dark, Clover made his way by using the veil of the Internet, a place where, unlike the bar in "Cheers," nobody can be sure of knowing your name, at least not your real one."

I won't edit this page, as it has been explained to me that this would be poor form. But I am still confused: of the three things you link to above, the first two don't indicate the relation between Joshua Clover and janedark.com, and the third is password-protected (though I took the liberty of looking at the actual book in question; it doesn't seem to mention any blogs). So this seems like an unverified claim; should it be emended? Signed (and I mean signed, not unsigned), Jane

Jane Dark, the writer for the VV, is Joshua Clover. Jane Dark, the writer for the VV, writes the blog. The blog author says they are the writer for the VV. Come on, now. Hipocrite - «Talk» 19:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the citation. Any sources on any of the other ones, particularly the Barrington Hall claim? --Milo H Minderbinder 20:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Possibly better (and certainly larger) photo. I leave it to someone other than me to decide whether it is preferable to the one currently in the article. - Jmabel | Talk 06:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
