Dear Dave Mark Jill.
well!
I had heard Poetry is Dead. You make it seem that the
corpse is not able either. Of course you drive, if you
can't invite another person to do it for you as I am
sure the experience of your company or of going
somewhere with you dear poet would be enough for me. I
think Ram's offer is less an invite than a conceptual
proposal(as in a conceptual art work). A sort of
framework that old poets may notbe able to adapt to
either.
Some younger artists run a space here in Sydney
(called First Draft) and they recently gathered up the
troops, for a miniture show. I delivered my three very
small drawings there today to find that the other
artists had interpreted the word miniture as meaning
small. So the charm of the action, the prospect of
work being tiny was lost and the public will loose the
opportunity to see a lot of tiny fantasies.
Now there was a famous Lativian landscape painter much
admired by the Australian artist Imants Tillers,
called Rorack(sic) who paints the profile of
mountain-tops from nieghbouring mountain-tops. So I
wonder if Gary Snyder when atop his mount will
lovingly poem out the profile of the next peak that
stands in the row???
are you cynics
best wishes
Ruark
