Thanks Anny, already we are; I am. It was great to read from Continuations with Sheila yesterday at Victoria School for the Arts, where the students are truly interested. And to hear her read her own work. Later we went to hear Christian Bök perform, & boy does he perform! He is at this point surely one of the finest sound poets going, & he does travel to read & perform all over the world. If you hear that he will be in your area, catch him; he is simply dynamic, exciting, & not to be missed. The students in the big auditorium cheered & applauded every piece. A bit of relaxation today before Sheila's & my reading tonight. And there's the Leonard Cohen night(s) coming up this weekend..., as well as a two day Word! symposium. Lots of fun to come....
