Amick has started a blog! I Don't Believe In Bodiless. Be nice or you'll have to deal with me.

Sunday night at Glenn Todd's beautiful

"Lower Pac Heights" home with Peter, looking at many of Arion Press' stunning books, some of which, Glenn had a hand in. One of which, John Ashbery's "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror", printed on circular sheets of handmade paper, the poem's lines radiating out from a center as spokes and contained in a large film cannister. A series of 8 Diebenkorn etchings on one wall, Bruce Conner photograveures on another, I think I counted three Jess collages. Really just an amazing place. Peter's new book from Salt Periplum & Other Poems, a reprinting of his first book, Periplum or I the Blaze, which includes early chapbooks; "Hours of the Book" and "Music for Films".

So many readings this week. Brandon Brown and Larry Kearney this evening, Aaron Kiely and Suzanne Stein tomorrow, and Peter with Beverly Dahlen on Thursday. How to hear so much poetry!

Cat Stevens deported from U.S. because he's on a Terror Alert watch list. What a "Wild World" indeed.

We couldn't *Do It* to rock music

Now that's just plain wrong. Since it's inception, rock 'n' roll has been synonymous with sex and sexuality. But then, both sex and rock are tools of the Devil. Is that not the most asinine thing you've ever heard? First off, The Devil? Come on. Secondly, since when are things which are enjoyable, "of the devil?" Bzzzzt. Wrong again. And rock and roll? Well, there's much less of an argument there, as there's so much devil worship in rock: Inxs' "the devil inside". So many false idols: i.e. Golden Earring. Etc. I hereby proclaim Do It to Rock Music and be free!

Did you see Jim jump from Alli's roof to the trampoline? I did. Did you see Jim jump from Alli's roof to the trampoline sans clothing? Yep. Did you see Jim jump from Alli's roof to the trampoline donning a tight-fitting and short dress sans undergarments? Ugh. Yeah.

It changed my life and the way I see poetry. "Cook me a soy dog be-yah-tch."
