Today and this week's study:
If I can't concentrate well enough to write or edit or review, I can still make a big pile of "research."
Witness my pile'o'pound.
Ooops. I see some WCW snuck in there too.

If you want to know more, go to the Encyclopedia! :-) I may actually buy the SF one as well, even though I read much less SF these days. I like to know stuff.

Got this today--completes my Pete Fromm collection. He started out writing sporting stories which bordered on litfic and then went to novels. He's one of the best we have, I think.

I once was obsessed with poet Paul Blackburn. Now I think John Berryman is better. And I am much looking forward to this book.

This book is near impenetrable for me. I'm not sure why. I mean, I get Eliot as well as I get *any* poetry, so Pound should be, if not easy, something that rewards close attention. I've tried off and on over the years. Maybe the break will come now!

Such a good book on the little mags from 1960-1980. I wish another edition existed for the last 45. The po-scene has splintered into several smaller loci. Anybody else read this?
