Hi everybody!
Yes, thanks very much Ric for appointing me as copyright administrator of
the collaborative poem! But I accept and please everybody get writing. I'd
not thought about publication and would suggest that we all see how it
progresses in terms of quality and quantity. And anyway can't it just be a
kind of fun research thing or a collective on-line performance?
Thanks to Peter Riley for his reassurances to newcomers. I'm actually
finding a lot of the discussion very interesting particularly the stuff
about Emily Dickinson and 'Yellow Rose' and I don't agree that we should all
strive to avoid everything on Peter's parody list. After all, creativity
only functions through relationships and isn't gossip a good part of any
relationship? A conversation might begin 'I like X's last lines' but I might
never have heard of X and therefore go and search out something new and
mind-blowing. So, please do keep chattering.
By the way, what was the attempted discussion of Scottish poets?
All the best,
David
