: "This is based somewhat on Jack Spicer's latter-day observation that 'poems cannot live alone any more than we can.' Even if I ignore this fact at times, it makes a good deal of sense." (1/4)
"Juxtaposition is the most basic element of creation ... The term juxtaposition should be understood less as the extreme farness of the elements gathered, and understood more as the extreme nearness of their new shared location."
Advance copies of American Cats out this week to select parties as thanks & praise. This post office has a plaque stating that it was built when JFK was president.

"...The Gifts are ode-ish, but a childish eye on the ode; granite gods and American magic marker. They are gratuitous in every sense; and this is a definition I like for what my poetry is to me..." (3/4)
"Grouping them (and previously I have grouped; see the 'moon poems') into categories gave me that; three strong, un-alone bundles of poems. But what to name each bundle and why?
Well the sonnets are sonnets so that is not too hard to come to..." (2/4)
