need to take one. Call it overly poetry holidazed, and busy,
& excuse this abrupt departure. (Nick, don't fret, this is most

Yes, he says, Yes, unlike our parents the panthers

reading Joyce Carol Oates's latest:
I'll Take You There
The book received poor reviews, but I like/trust her style of
writing; intelligent, honest. The story isn't very interesting,
e.g. -The danger of falling in love, in winter- however
good enough to say a worthwhile read.

without excessive decomposition. Vog: "I am seeing the un-obvious
implications of Beauty right here in this poem" ... how darn perceptive!

cont. from last night:
Tim Yu's voice at certain times reminded me of Tom Hanks'.
Alice Notley's nervous performance edge blended well with her text.
Tim Yu has an easy-going, professional attitude, without arrogance.
Alice Notley read from what seemed to be a new manuscript, plain
stapled pages that were sliding and falling off the podium.
Tim Yu patiently listened to me Lihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14519240446219043418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264643.post-1068526120337764212003-11-10T22:48:00.000-06:002003-11-11T00:26:15.513-06:00::A poetry reading report::

Or haven't you noticed
yet at the skin solid money
is flowing
Fixing us poet
upon poet loving oblivion or

On your neck pending this

If you dare the arid randomness
the absent phantom unbeingness - overwrought, writ
cold

Tense jaw
peel away
Intense law
liberates the hermit
Every aspect scrutinized
a little removed from the mast
In tow two curious claws
soda swift tatter bugs
rupture the Hell straits
seethe without vipers

Hip day
civilized bungalow
Nectar must cost
a bee's life
To make one pound fly the equal
distance 3 orbs 1 queen 300 drone

First, the classic
defense of the theologians, who declare that evil is negative,
that evil is simply the absence of good. For any sensible person
this is obviously false. A physical pain is as vivid or more vivid than
any pleasure. . . Then there is the argument, elegant but quite false,
of Leibniz. Imagine two libraries.
