really freaking exhausted tonight. nicholas has not slept thru the night for about a week. on top of a cold he also developed an ear infection and the poor boy has had a fever off and on. we took him to the dr. and now he is on antibiotics and resting now as i type.

but did want to draw yr attention to geof huth's brilliant review of daniel f. bradley's zine fhole. hie thee to a copy pronto, dudes and dudettes.

and surfing a bit sat. i found via chad parenteau's terrific blog a collection of memories by various poets of the grolier poetry book shop gathered by doug holder. a few poets are new to me, my fave is by ryk mcintyre who found the verification we seek and sometimes get by finding the right book at the right time. i've never been to grolier, but such a place for a poet has got to be better than a candy store, theme park, and toy store all rolled in one for children.

and now beddy-bye time.

sorry to hear abt Nicholas. hope he's better by now.

I try to pop into the Grolier whenever I'm in Cambridge. one of the great bookstores. & how lovely that story abt Ginsburg & Lowell.

I've only been to Grolier once, but enjoyed it thoroughly. Had a nice chat with the proprietor, Louisa Solano.
My daughter and son-in-law are moving back to Boston, so I'm gonna have an excuse to visit again soon.
