and furthermore a

There was a woman in the
ground of large poetry,
whose name was
Joan Houlihan and this
woman was perfect and right
and one which feared modern poetry

when the days of her having fun
were approximately gone, Joan
Houlihan transmitted and
increased quickly in the morning
and offered burned offerings
according to the number of the beast

Thus continued Joan Houlihan

Now there was a day in which Billy Collins
came to present before Ron Silliman and
John Ashbery came moreover between them

and did Ron Silliman say
lubricate John Ashbery?

John Ashbery answered
Ron Silliman and said,
Hast thou considered
my slave Joan Houlihan?
a messenger then lubricated
Joan Houlihan, saying,
the fire of Billy Collins fell from the sky

there's a going out of business sale at Elsewhere. pride goeth before the fall or something like that. I've always used an originality metre on all my work to be sure that it's 100% original. however, before Gary goes to prison, interesting process report on his next Elsewhere comic. I enjoy process and method reports, however much sticks with me.

part 58 of Antic view is up and ready to be ignored. check out the other assholes 1st, then if your busy schedule allows, read our blog as well.

Stephen Vincent's piece about / review of a presentation by photographer Richard Long (Big Valley???) is keen and thoughtful. Stephen picks up on a certain unread quality to Long. did he, Stephen wonders, traipse about out there without some connection to Muir, Snyder, Whalen? could one traverse this landscape here and not think of Thoreau putting in the mileage? it seems so out of touch, notin the sense of having to worship those predecessors, but that they were there, they help form the tradition in which he himself. oh, did this Charles Olson write about Gloucester too?. a basic lack of connection.
