hi, m
as i've said before, it's what's being said that matters. the speech i am
making fits with my politics and ethics, and i have been in no way
compromised. i don't censor an audience and it's up to them to respond as
they will. the idea of speaking across borders is a good one, i feel - it's
how we use the occasion as poets and editors that matters. this is not a UN
support group exercise. criticisms can be made. it's called being
political!
best,
jk
