the 1st comment posted on this blog being so insightful, I should expatiate a bit on the point of community. because the lines are drawn. in the larger world, my point of exclusion is hard to argue against. so many groups, however defined, find themselves out. recently on the radio, sports radio, someone referred to the sports commentator community. I wonder if sports commentators vote as a bloc. the poetry community defines itself by what is left out. when people squawk about mainstream poetry, or langpo, it's a sweeping motion with the broom. ambitious networking is alive and well. but me no buts.
