Creative Writing has never
been my trip although I understand
the fun of teaching someone
something fun to do although most people
simply have not got the gift
and where's the point? What
puzzles me is what my friends
find to say. Oh forget it. Reading,
writing, knowing other poets
will do it, if there is
anything doing.

You're back! And in good form. Few new posts today in my parts of the blog woods, you win the gold star which is also a small crimson yacht in a bottle. That confuses even me, and here we are again. I miss that use of the word trip. (and I was just trippin).

Lee Ballentine edits the fabuloso UR-VOX and has a fabulous book out, too:

Phase Language (Pantograph Press, Berkeley, 1995)

Cheers,
