Cool. Thanks. :) 'Course, since I'm currently in Hawaii studying visual poetry in motion in it's various forms, it might be a bit before I can start thinking about dramatic goats. JS. Cool.

I'm hoping they'll have her at Tattered Cover in Denver. Yeah, this is an author whose books I need in my library. I’m hoping they’ll have her at Tattered Cover in Denver.

Incredible. Leaves me sad, though. On a lighter note, another Christmas gift found, if I can locate the book at Barnes & Noble here in town. Wow.

Kelly was once a very fine actress. Just thought you'd want to know ;-) Ubertramp:

Yeah, there's plenty there if you want to dig, but they're designed to work at a more intuitive level, as well. Glad the Kelly clicked for you, though. I agree that it's more obviously accessible than some of what I write. Of course, as I have noted before, it’s a mistake to let yourself get tripped up by some of the specifics in my work.

I think I need to read it several more times to really get it. Like when I'm not at my parents house listening to the dishwasher and arguing about whether or not I've seen the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol. But this stream of consciousness kind of think makes perfect sense to me. I get it, at least on some basic level, w/o having to know any background or history. That's the main problem I have with some of YOUR stuff. There's so much there I don't understand about the place names and historical/mythological events. Here, it all hits you in the gut. There's probably several layers of symbolism here that I don't quite grasp yet. But I don't have any basic mental blocks that keep me from...feeling. This one, I like.

"Then the heart sang in the head..." at that line the goosebumps started. Palazzo Medici I remember well. So pretty and relaxing it was. Stunning in parts. I was staying elsewhere in Italy but had managed a quick day trip to Florence. So many buildings were covered in scaffolding but even with all the renovations it was worth walking the routes through Florence. The sum of the city itself was wonderful to me.

I'm afraid that it doesn't strike me at all. Not in the same way that a great painting, or amazing sculpture does. It's fine, and certainly better poetry than I could ever write, but whether from a lack of appreciation skill for poetry in general or what, I'm afraid that I just don't see the greatness you do.
