Default Interview on E-Verse

It's been out for a bit, but thought I'd note it.

I enjoyed that. I’d take Robert Bly and Diane Wakoski and people like that more seriously if I found their notions of what an “American” is remotely relevant to fellow Americans I actually know -- amen. I particularly liked your list of influences -- almost a poem in itself. Also, Measure does surprisingly just keep getting better, doesn't it.

Thanks for pointing the interview out: quintessential Quincy. I look forward to meeting your little mutants one day.

As of right now, there's no potential mutant mama, as it were, but when that changes, Kate... I'll get around to mentioning it at some point, I guess.

Former Trotskyite? *Former* Trotskyite? Dang. Whatever happened to Continual Transformation?

Next thing we'll be stooping to revisionist social democracy! Vive La Revolution!

Nice interview, by the way...

Best,

Bill

I’m not one of those New Form fundamentalists who think poems that don’t rhyme want your kids to get gay-married[.]

Great pith, Quincy. And we know who those people are who are orthodox in their prosody and politics (not to mention religion), the old bigotries that accompany the mentality that assumes rhyme and meter are inviolable. So much is Wonder Bread (white, stale, and sphincter-clenched).

You could also have said, "New Form fundamentalists who think poems that don't rhyme want your kids to vote for an African-American president." Etc.

Glad you're raising hell!

Don
