Not to be "gratuitous frivolous", but given the recent path of Hurricane
Wilma, "The Idea of Order at Key West" today has an odd irony about it -
probably en situ an idea that is on everybody's mind. Governor Jeb Bush
probably has a copy in his office, and the FEMA Director, too. I suspect
the Jar in Tennessee is flooded, maybe even broke, as well.
Every time I try to read Steven's I tend to exhausted by the work's formal
beauty - even the humor, "The Empress of ..." seems like a Circus without
manure stains on its tarps. Of he same era, in the same country, I am much
more at home with Williams.
