I've been very lazy about investigating tuli & savu, or any venues for
poetics in english that may be around. but I gather from the bustle of links
& cooperations seen on this site
<http://tuli-savu.nihil.fi/default.asp?c=1>that the 'scene' is nowhere
near impoverished, & may well involve something
interesting. maybe WHEN I enter university life next autumn I'll be able to
get to grips with said scene in comfort. I'll investigate further & announce
my findings!
