Dear All,
I've found Reading's collections exciting in how he employs the visual
appearance of a poem, or a section of a poem, into the work itself. He's
influenced me to address the medium of the poem in a poem, as I've done in some
of the poems I've put up on my web site.
He was very encouraging to me as well, very friendly and generous, and very down
to earth. He led me to the Bay Press, which published a pamphlet of his
(/Chinoiserie)/ and then published mine. A wonderful man and an
innovative poet.
Yours,
Ivy Garlitz
