My pleasure and honor. You're one of the...Tom, <br />My pleasure and honor. You're one of the "essentials" as they say on TCM. And grateful to share the journey in the slant rhyme ways we do.<br />(No one would ever suspect that as far as I can remember we've never even met "in person"—though that expression is inadequate to so many I feel I know so intimately as fellow poets whose work is as much a part of my life as the music that marks its milestones.) <br />MichaelLallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-64681936574977418782010-04-21T22:56:32.036-04:002010-04-21T22:56:32.036-04:00Michael thanks so much for this, the best gift one...Michael thanks so much for this, the best gift one could get on yet another rainy day here in humanity. Yes I think we've both been there all the time. Though I am a bit surprised we are both still alive, after all these years of humanity. Still there it is. And I love the way our glances obliquely converge in the conjunction of your two old book covers and that even older G. Malanga photo of my little post Grant Wood family unit, smiling at the edge of the world. Would that it were so easy any more. And by the by, if indeed you did send poems to The Paris Review, it may or may not be a relief for you to hear that I never saw them. In the second half of my decade of tenancy in that curious position there was a first reader, Ron Padgett, so that instead of seeing ten thousand poems a month, I only saw a few hundred. As we are both aware, a lot of gold always slips through the meshes of even the most intelligent sieve.<br /><br />In any case many thanks again (and no, I don't think your post was too long, oh no!).<br /><br />Affection & respects as ever,<br /><br />TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.com
