somewht strangely, a day or two ago i blogged about an encounter i had had with the poet ted berrigan in new york in 1968. today's poem by lynn emanuel from poetry daily at www.poems.com includes reference and an address to the poet ted berrigan as well. i had a similar experience recently when i addressed a poem to the poet mark jarman and the next day the poem from poet.org was by jarman. it is interesting to get the influx of these various postings. i, of course, believe that there is no such thing is co- incidence; but that's just my personal belief. i find it confirmed almost every day. it sort of amazes me, the extent to which our culture is now dominated by an attitude of un- or non-belief.
am re-reading monroe spears' 1968 book, "dionysius and the city", a study in literary and cultural modernism which i have read in extensively before. it's an excellent book. i just wish dr. spears was still around so i could tell him how very much i respect and appreciate his efforts.
