Ed's right. Reading/writing...From John Perlman,<br />Ed's right. Reading/writing is an intimate experience, conversation at depth, addressed to ones unmet as well as valued persons, not defeated by remoteness, & before & beyond lifespans, assuming intelligible commonality, always exploratory. Contemporaries, as in two heads leaning together in a room over coffee. A book between. Most often one of the two plays ghost. Asks : pass it on. Remember.<br />Thanks John.

But I believe that this blog will bring forth his work now.<br />My father was a quiet man but his passion was loud. He just wasn't very good with people.Claudia Warrenhttp://poetfranksamperi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887647380762930240.post-6603545789363342682011-06-18T17:33:24.361-07:002011-06-18T17:33:24.361-07:00Claudia,

I see names like Kelly, Corman,Perlman appear here fairly freguently, etc all of them major literary figures, and I can't imagine why anyone, related directly or indirectly to Samperi, hasn't seen the publishing opportunites: say, either an article or study or anthology. <br /><br />Perhaps, as you've told me yourself, it's because he shunned the literary 'limelight', having chosen the quiet, contemplative life instead.Conrad DiDiodatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312831623791642286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887647380762930240.post-30102535128300666932011-06-18T16:27:02.504-07:002011-06-18T16:27:02.504-07:00Conrad,
