it was financed by the CIA, as was the Excellent Encounter. It's nice to know the CIA hs some use in the world.

The Staggers was financed by Russian cash when Michael Foot was editor. The Ambassador used to stuff tenners into his pocket.Or was that the other thing Foot edited, Tribune.

The question is, did any of this influence the content? I rather think not.

If the CIA want to finance me directly I don't mind. And I will take Vladimir Putin's money too.

What is the difference re thongs? And what are budgie-smugglers while we are about it?

Les is the poetry editor of Quadrant and his word is law. In that sense he publishes me. And the Quadrant Book of Poetry is also his. Buy it while stocks last. It is the best anthology of modern poetry. And by no means all formal.
