In 1986, Songs from the Web was first published by a struggling independent publisher, Bitter Wine Press, with a limited printing of only 100 copies. It was Carla Martin-Wood’s first chapbook. Shortly after its debut, which resulted in a complete sellout, a tape of her reading of womanpoem reached the attention of the English department at the illustrious University of the South at Sewanee. The poet was invited to read for their homecoming. The Sewanee reading led to performances at other colleges and universities, for charitable, civic, and women’s political groups, and to Greenwich Village, where the poet was asked to lend the title of her book to a series of readings by several poets. Fortunate Childe Publications is pleased to present selected poems from the original Songs from the Web, accompanied by some of the poet’s more recent and previously unpublished work.
