to whomsoever
beweeps me that too few go to the SVP, howsomever,
many of us out in the sticks either can't make it or don't know about it,
or both. as for ACE, i haven't the faintest what it is either, do recall
seeing some Arts Council generated stuff (rhymes with guff) a while back
that suggests a certain association, which consideration leads me to how
power generates a patois of obfuscation (my god, there's as much internal
-tion chiming here as in a certain speech in Hamlet) & to how a friend of
mine
recently informed me that:
(she's more into these things than i am)
poetry (by the Arts Council) is not considered a separate art form (that's
an exact quote - the rest is paraphrase) & must compete for funding with
other forms of public entertainment & performance (i.e. stand at the back
of the queue behind the j.heg. & ben.zep. wannabees & try not to die of
boredom).
insult to the craft or what?
sorry to hear papa andrew has taken a scunner to bill griffiths ( i haven't
the latest first offense so don't know the details) but even the best of
friends can fall out via long association (s'pose). thanks for the invite
to melbourne but the private jet's conked out. weather here in nowhere is
overcast, grey, grim & drab (what's new?)
all the best me dearies & me ducks
