OF JONAS MEKAS DOC If they want, if they need . . . they are here. Of reaching that point of intensity. Not a poet to a horse. Barry Alpert /Wash DC>>Rockville MD US / 01-01-18 (8:32AM) Just found & couldn't resist posting in light of Bill's 4-line found text out of an overheard conversation. My source, Jonas Mekas, now 95, published his first book of poems (in Lithuanian) at age 14. He's better known as a filmmaker & advocate of the "poetic cinema".
