Well read, Rachel. For all the propaganda of performance much of poetry is
an intimate art and it's a vulnerable and exposed place to read it, the
stage. I particularly liked the Verse from Vallejo, Autumn Daze, Belial,
Dick of the Dead and , well, who else could dream of George Costanza?
( i raked a new pattern in my minature Zen garden - only 8 inches square, I
have a very small home -  while listening, a good sign)

British listeners might feel that Dick of the Dead is very aptly evoked in a
reading series named Hammer.
