where what is

Lisa Jarnot's blog is freakin'. I like Paul Blackburn. if I could've written like Robert Benchley when I was 16, I'd probably not trail into this world of poetry. it took me a long time to realize I love Gertrude Stein. Monty Python, Bob & Ray (which see, friends, which see). some aesthetic luck kept me from writing like a Beat. Robert Grenier was a fantastic influence on me, and not in the way you might think (this assertion may answer previous sentence). Charles olson in a real Gloucester subset. Ron Silliman's careful, honest weighing. reading George Butterick's Collected Poems today. something about Mrs Dalloway. America is Leaves of Grass. Baudelaire beats up a poor man. Beth, finally. I could go on.
