another great Creeley story

I've already regaled how my intro to Creeley didn't actually get noticed by RC. at the same party at Grenier's (après RC's big homecoming reading) (he lived in Littleton down the road a piece when he 1st started corresponding with Olson), Creeley began stomping his foot to make the record skip (might've been the Stones' "Sticky Fingers"), then he started clapping to the beat. well that's my sort of thing, so I joined him, and we syncopated and got into it, with him looking me in the eye (I know, I know...) but exchanging nary a word. well, that was my story. I've seen Creeley twice, 30 years apart and I can't say he's a good reader.
