One odd thing about "A Sixties Sort Of Scene" was that John Lucas took one
look at it and said, "Robin, do you really *want to be busted out of
academe?"
Baffled the hell out of me -- I'd thought I'd published much edgier poems in
_The Lost Jockey_ ("An Allegory of Teaching and Learning" and "The Alexis
Poems" spring to mind) ...
... not to speak of one I published in Poetry (Chicago) ...
Then it struck me, that basically, nobody actually *read my poems.
As well for me -- talk about the luck of the Hamiltons.

Incidentally, as a term applied to "Dmitri", 'Goth' is anachronistic --
"Dmitri" postdates mods and rockers, but predates the Goth style statement.
