went to the 'genteel art or cut-throat business' session at the writer's festival tonight. kept me enthralled for a good hour. who designs the session subjects? poetry as genteel art OR cut-throat business? not exactly giving the speakers a lot of room for movement; of course poetry's not a genteel art, and cut-throat business? a bit drastic? in the end i heard a lot about the electronic poetry revolution...and a fair bit about the 'poetryetc' email discussion list! all very intriguing. looking forward to attending the readings at 10 this morning with a drastic hangover.
