Language Poetry by the Bay: James Sherry: «The Grand Piano» Project:
...an ongoing experiment in collective autobiography by ten writers identified with Language poetry in San Francisco. It takes its name from a coffeehouse at 1607 Haight Street, where from 1976-79 the authors took part in a reading and performance series. The writing project, begun in 1998, was undertaken as an online collaboration, first via an interactive web site and later through a listserv.

A N A S I D E : The Preservative Qualities of the Martini Diet
When Schlesinger turned 60, he became more aware of his age. After a trip to the cathedral in Florence, he wrote:
“As I went into the Duomo, it occurred to me that I have been visiting churches in Europe for 45 years, and that they have really done very little for me - my fault, not theirs, of course; but there it is. Why should I waste my declining years going into churches?... I will simplify life by abandoning the inspection of churches, as in earlier years I have abandoned ballet, metaphysics, linguistics and other subjects that, however estimable, are, alas, not for me.” A decade later, lunching with two younger men in 1987, Schlesinger observed, “I could not help noting the generational differences in diet. I had a martini and grilled double lamb chops. They had Perrier and chef's salad. I suppose that their diet is better for them. But mine is more fun. I understand the disappearance of cigarettes these days; they are poison. But why has hard liquor, the staff of life, yielded to white wine and, heaven help us, Perrier?” In early 2007, Schlesinger died as he had lived: at work on a book... and out on the town (he was at a Manhattan restaurant on the night he was fatally stricken). [from the «Washington Post», Sunday, October 7, 2007; Page BW03] [Note: Arthur Schlesinger Jr. lived to the age of 89. I should be so lucky. - J.T.]
Best,
