"'He said he didn't recognize me, but he said that if I'd eaten sweet potatoes, he had planted them.'"—Great Girl by Kim Su Theiler
Not bad, not bad at all. I don't know who this is, but I found it on Laura Marks website - a very interesting Vancouver critic & curator who, incidentally has written much of value on touch and haptics and such. (Vancouver has such a great history of producing first rate writers and intellects - Lisa Robertson among them). Sadly, I hear, Robin Blaser will soon pass from a bout with cancer, another great 20th century poet and thinker.
I assume nobody is hearing this in Australia - the specter and horror of flames must be a sustained horror to the imagination and much else. Leaves me speechless from way afar.
