I think I gave a reading in there once. Nice audience in Marfa.

Back at it in Portland. Surprised the Feds didn’t bust it up. They hate us.

I love finding those early issues of things like Paris Review, Poetry magazine pre-war, Parnassus, Antaeus, Partisan Review &c. Like finding a pre-historic version of my poetry brain before I even came into being.

8 years later, on the night Nolan Ryan throws a no-hitter at the Dome, my novel A SELF-PORTRAIT IN THE YEAR OF THE HIGH COMMISSION ON LOVE (SFA Press) takes place exactly where those three are standing.

Might be 3am my time but I’m going to try to join this meter discussion. I’m teaching same thing to my MFA students at present.

Coincidence! Proofing pages just now for my selected poems out next year and due now2publisher: lines from "To C.D. from D.C." "—and the poets Sneaking into matinees of Lawrence of Arabia At the Uptown, then wandering through Rock Creek Park Listening for linnets, speaking of a thousand things...”

Aw, man. Lived in the Freud Hilton on Conn. Ave. for years -- loved that theater. Hopefully Vace's still lives.

Well Oliver North wasn’t a basket of fruit, but I too (16 when Reagan won the first time) thought Reagan was horrific but at least not sociopathic. He’s like a scholar and a gentleman now.

Amazing. I was just thinking this morning earlier how much the view out my bedroom window is so Pollock’esque.
