The book is the result of a journey to Patmos and the kind response of the poet who lives there. Printed and designed by William Cirocco. Pen & Ink drawings by the Robert Lax.
now, I am confused..
ReplyDeleteis Wm Cirrocco publishing Robert Lax? and David Miller (Spiritual
Letters?
and
who is writing what when & to whom? in other words : "who's on first?"
meanwhile
I am knee deep into one of Robert Lax's closest friends ... Ad Reinhardt (check out in ART IS ART the 1963 note p. 120:
"[The Context of Art]" (I add "poetry" to his "art" and "poet" to his "artist")
Lax' other Big Buddy ... Ths Merton .... no "slouch" either...
I am discovering...
had I known of and that Robert Lax was over on Patmos while I was in Lindos ( ca 1968-9-70) a short boat-ride away i would have/might have [...]
but that is from my position in place/time now... & looking back...
which I seldom do &with noh regrets, demands, wants, or ....
so
pray-tell who is publishing or re:publishing this "stuff"
&, I am telling you"
letter-writing/emailing much better way to accommodate "a deux" exchanges
well, enough about Robert Lax (et al)
let s talk about me
Hi Ed,
ReplyDeleteBill Cirocco has a press called Hawkhaven Press in SF and yes he has published Robert Lax, David Miller and my father.
These books of poetry are from Lax and Miller. They are not writing to my father.
I am posting other works of poetry to give the blog more depth and plus these are books that are part of my father's library.
I hope that clears things up a bit.
Raining here today in CA. CW
sure helps. thanks... I'd be lost without .....facts-as-they-are
ReplyDeletenow,
can you please clear up one other thing onect-n-four-all? what the heck
Langpo is?
thanks
now I have a name (Hawkhaven Press) so I'll be able google it and get my information where everybody else gets theirs... off the Net
thus feeling like an Avant Insider Post-Toastie poet....again!
Ed,
ReplyDeleteSorry, Langpo? not sure what you are referring to...did I mention that? Yes the Net a great void of information...
Cid wayyyyyyyyyy back in 1974 called them the Lang Gang
ReplyDeleteLangpo as far as I can throw it /em stands for
Language Poetry
I've nothing against any of them however their poetry at best ... forgettable
the make up mostly that large gaggle of "poets" that I call
Credentialists
other-wise known as Careerists
they consider Larry E a Langpo
probably your dad too.
oh well let us move on before we sink into mere
opinion & politics
which are both b=o=l=o=g=n=a
(the Lang-pos frequently use the "=" sign and other tricky-meanigless signifiers
for what-I-don't-noh
Wow! makes sense, great insight to the world of poetry.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed.
