It feels right. As for those early days, it was a great time for me, and so is this time, in a different way. I really liked Joan Retallack's depiction of the Mass Transit/Folio era and the Dupont Circle culture as a carnival. It was that. <BR/><BR/>The great thing about this blog is the amount of contact it has generated already.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I liked "Some of Us Press gang" -- image of poets hanging around Dupont Circle and pressing innocent citizens into poetry service.douglanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00045305196252862765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489069085436219130.post-15076893786245924272007-08-06T19:48:00.000-07:002007-08-06T19:48:00.000-07:00Hey man, just wanted to say I really loved reading all these entries, and totally appreciate your honesty. I know I may have been as devisive a character as I was an instigator in those early days, but damn, it was such a good time wasn't it? And the best part was, we knew it. Winch and I would often talk about that, as we wrote constantly and shared the poems with each other and with the Mass Transit and Some of Us Press gang. Challenging each other, supporting each other, daring each other, and pissing each other off now and then too. As is obvious by my own writing and taste, you can't put enough autobiographical detail in these posts for me Doug. Please, don't stop.Lallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.com
