All of the "biz" aspects are bullshit -- you know that. <BR/><BR/>Whenever I start feeling bitter, which is often, I take some poetry I really love -- say, some Ceravolo -- and I go for a walk (i.e., get the hell out of the house) and find a place to sit down and read it. That's what poetry is. Hey, I'm in the world and here's some anchor to help me connect. Amen. Pass the potatoes. Everything else is noise.<BR/><BR/>MasseyJoseph Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981577788706579406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055454.post-11993964710082151072007-11-25T17:03:00.000-06:002007-11-25T17:03:00.000-06:00The full-assed only get it worse.Do what keeps you...The full-assed only get it worse.<BR/>Do what keeps you in without <BR/>thrashing.Jim K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16105117011358723753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055454.post-28384226128741446802007-11-25T15:40:00.000-06:002007-11-25T15:40:00.000-06:00This happens a lot.We are in an inland sea.Keep go...This happens a lot.<BR/>We are in an inland sea.<BR/>Keep going!Jim K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16105117011358723753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055454.post-32506640255255752742007-11-25T15:06:00.000-06:002007-11-25T15:06:00.000-06:00You, perhaps more so than anyone I know, are, by y...You, perhaps more so than anyone I know, are, by your very existence, part of the poetry community.Karl Saffranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008999151860293023noreply@blogger.com
