Just so ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE (but Forgive the/any hyperbole, too). Don't ever stop (you know, idealistically, and all). Of course, starting something else, resting, ALL OK, obviously.
ReplyDeleteI was talking with Ken Warren recently (helping him proofread a fabulous book of essays that he's written over the years and is now putting together, soon to publish. He's familiar with your writing, too (actually, you may know him, I just thought of that), but anyways, I described your _REAL_ and other writing, like this, as "PURE Phenomenology," which he thought apt. Of course, I view Bob's "scrawl poems" as another very certain "phenomenological" CONTACT with "world." Blah blah... (Oh, HA, that's another reason why it "cannot be reproduced," HA -- it's already existed...
Oh, and Eric Selland, whose gorgeous _Still Lifes_ just came out also says you influence him, and that you've been reading a bit of Heidegger and the Objectivists (or maybe he was...). (Personally, I always preferred, of course, Fritz Perls and Alexander Lowen, to Heidegger, who is of course much more "abstract," but that's another subject. (And I read philosophers like that 35 years ago, long before I started reading "poetry," and really only more and more THESE DAYS, I get the connections between them... Oh well...
Hey, e-mail me sometime about possibility, if you're interested, and ask Bob and Joanne, perhaps, too, writing something for "Sonoma / Bromige Issue" -- http://hanksoriginal.com.
A "Bolinas Issue," the three of you, one day, too, but for now, I hope to get "Sonoma /Bromige Issue" going, been on the backburners a long time, etc.
Hello there Steve, nice to find all this here, hear/see there's someone out there noticing all this (!). And yes, the "Sonoma / Bromige Issue" -- and a "Bolinas Issue" too (!)
