brain not yet switched on, if ever, but nevertheless:
enjoyed Billy Mills' posts re Olson, so much so that I was disappointed
that he wasn't inclined to detail his dislike of Andrea Brady's work. C'mon
Billy, you know what it feels like to be dismissed without reason. Cd you
amplify the "sub-surreal disjunction" remarks?
While on the topic, I thought Keston Sutherland's responses to Billy's and
Douglas Clark's put downs (who'da thought they'd be bedfellows?) gracious
and witty. Thank blank we didn't get bogged down in justification. Though
I think it to the point to recall Douglas Oliver's remarks that Douglas
Clark is a "good sport" in that no matter how forcefully he rejects the
value of a given writer he generally goes back to the books for a second
look.
