Mark Scroggins ruminates on his study of Zukofsky. I don't have strong scholarship muscles, tend to wander rather than focus (which I think is valid as well), but I do have an Olson shelf which has been much confronted. that sense of familiarity with a writer is a pleasure. I've been dipping into Berrigan right along since I got his collected. with TB, I'm not even at the pretend level of scholarship that I have with Olson. I'm taken with his variety, and his ability to push an idea somewhere. TB inspires me, which sounds flabby, but I only mean that his excitement to produce poetry is contagious. and you do feel the intensity of necessity, of life in the poetic realm. in depth study is a taste of that.
