I remarked in an interview recently that the late Bob Cobbing managed to
be publisher of around 100 books in his first ten years publishing; and of
maybe 1100 more over the next thirty, speeding up steadily
that's out of my league and inclination; but I am aware of having speeded
up a bit in verse writing, particularly over the last few hours - though
much of what I have posted today has been around a day or twoin earier
forms
I am grateful for your attention. Some of you have said some very
encouraging things
there was much to be said for spacing them out more, if only to give those
of you who wanted to read them some time... but I wanted to clear that
mental desk... I am going to take a break from.... I hope not writing, but
the polishing / finalising... and maybe from this set of uncomfortable
ideas and metaphors
I may read them tomorrow at the wf workshop if there is time
I'll respond if anyone writes though I am not demanding that. hw could i?
In fact... well, I'll respond but I shall tend to be silent now and for a
while.
I don't know where I am with this sequence (book?) It's become _next
door_, which does avoid the double take when people put their head round
my door and see the folder marked _auschwitz_; and I didn't want that
emphasis really, not over all of them
thank you for the encouragement
I'm glad you're there. Thank you for the use of your inboxes. I hope to
return
