Janet,

You're such a sweet bipolar. Why not suggest a movie forum? We have an art forum, why not a movie forum. I'd like to see what the poetical intelligencia watches.

I just enjoyed the Australian movie "Japanese Story"


Dave,

What do you think of William Logan?

Do you think formalism will stay? (Lines with rhyming words at the end? Meter? Is formalism a blip? Will it stand side by side free verse?

How many poems do you write/finish a year?

I am simply amazed how poets are published, and then the only thing you can read is "blurbs" about them. I've yet to be convinced to fork over cash on a blurb. Getting a book manufactured is nothing. Poets can't depend on networking to sell books--enough--sure, a little. Why don't more poets get their poems on the web? Get websites? It is not expensive. Is there an attitude that they think the books won't sell if people can get it for free?

What is the cause of poets writing a poem and totally missing an obvious mistake, not just spelling and grammar, (but those too) but conceptual de-railments--and then when it is pointed out--they see it instantly? How should a poet double-check their writing?

Is Tom Jardine a bore, or what? (Don't answer that)

TJ
