and so Dan Bouchard has a blog. I admit I didn't particularly like his 1st book, but 1st books often suffer from a lack of identity. they had a fierceness and integrity that I associate with Bouchard, the little I've observed (saw himn read once) but were a little too careful. the reading I saw, he read a WCW poem ferociously, with real commitment, but his own works lacked that resonance, both the works themselves and his reading of them. BUT I'm not ragging on Dan, I look forward to where his poetry goes. and as I said, integrity seems to be a strong note with him. furthermore, this blog, concerned with readings, is an unusual take.
