I don't have much time for poetryetc at the moment - there is
a poetry festival going on here. And the rest of my complicated
life continues as usual. But it's good to see the list talking
about poetry, books and current events and not about itself and
its members!
I wanted to say, wow Ken, you're writing so well - your recent poems
are intense and engaging.
And Sheila, your poem about the 14-year-old girl, very moving. There
is still so much that can be said, so many voices to be heard.
The poem *might* benefit from some, you know, tightening... but I'm
not sure.
For those in metro-ish Western Australia:
Helen Hagemann and I and a host of even more exciting people are
performing tonight (Fri 16 Sep) at SubVerse. Starts 7:15pm at the
Perth Town Hall. I don't know when I am on or for how long - being
a poetry festival, organised by poets, it is not entirely organised. <g>
