below is a reworking of an email to Poetics, announcing an Ashbery reading. god knows why the announcement is so ponderous. too much info and too wordily (or worldly) presented. situating A in some land of achievement. I love A Nest of Ninnies, by the way. below the Ashberry thing, just the great news I received from aCOMPLETE stranger. there must be lots of Ph.D. candidates writing papers on the desperate email from 3rd world phenomenon.
