If I were Aram Saroyan reading your poem 40 years ago, I'd revise it to: CANDIRU Nuts! My reading of "Dire Symbol" yielded nothing formal to extrapolate from and an antiquated diction to avoid like a communicable disease. Hard not to camp on lines such as "the Jordan screamed to see you": was he wearing "Air Jordans"? Even one "move" by the Finnish poet Leevi Lehto has been 13 times more useful to me than the sum total of what I've read by you. The google results of a search on "candiru" were more intriguing visually & contentually than what you've done with the buzz about "Tiny Catfish Hunter". I'd recommend drinking a Jagua/Genipa Hot Toddy at the CAV Bar in San Francisco. Barry Alpert Re: KS' http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfr8jjpv_32cgm7xg
