Entry 443 — I’m Still Here
Just a little news bulletin to let people know I’m still around.
1. I’m scheduled for hip replacement surgery 1 June.
2. I just popped off at the Poetry magazine site against a review of recent books by Marjorie Perloff and Reginald Shepherd, Unorginal Genius and A Martian Muse, ” which–according to Robert Archabeau, Poetry’s fatuous reviewer– “have wonderful moments, and at their best each shows us a remarkable critical mind at work.” I aired my usual gripe, that the Establishment is ignoring my kind of poetry. I seem to have a need to do this every month or so–to become at least a smudge on the Surface of American Culture. I can’t simply ignore it.
