printing up our, richard hansen and myself, interview with douglas blazek to give to him tonight at his reading. at 20 pages it's a rough draft, and i want blaz to help edit it. he has the final word in the text since it will be his words, ideas and thoughts on a life lived in writing that i hope to get at. been sitting on my ass too long with this project so i'm pleased to have something to give to the venerable old poet. pics forthcoming from his reading.

also received an email from oz poet michael farrell about a new book by robert adamson from flood editions. adamson will be reading in sf next week. unable to go to see him. he's long been a favorite of mine. i asked my friend, the poet a. p. sullivan, now living semi-permanently down under, a couple of years ago if he could find any books by adamson and and another favorite john forbes. sullivan got for me adamson's selected and the collected poems by forbes. a real treat.

and today fedex stopped at our door. anna asked if i had ordered anything. nope, couldn't think of nothing. so then i open the door to a package from dylan hock. copies of the films by stan brakhage. lovely gifts that i want to publicly thank dylan for. thank you, hermano!

you know the angels wanna wear my red shoes
