Not my own emails, except the ones containing poems.
I occasionally save emails from other people.
I thought letters should be saved by their recipients,
not their senders.
Much crap is written about famous and not-so-famous people.
A persona is created that has only a little to do with the
actual person - the quotidian self, as we called it a while back.
Even now I am introduced at readings as a persona I don't recognise.
Perhaps this persona is my poet self as seen by others.

PS My MS is in the mail! At last! I sent a 40-page manuscript to the
New Poets Publishing Program of Five Islands Press / Melbourne Uni.
They publish six little books each year. Wish me luck!
