nah nah Douglas, I bet almost everyone reads your posts, even when we
might disagree. And we get the ongoing story of your life too, with i
hope a happy birthday.
So don't go.
Others can argue about Creeley as an editor & reader, not to mention
as a poet (I still find his work amazing, myself). But would i read

short commentaries on his poems was Thom Gunn's review of the
Collected Poems, now in Shelf Life.
