MADE-UP POETS AND LOW-LIT ROOMS

had the opportunity to hear jordan davis and anselm berrigan talk last night at brendan lorber's zinc bar series. it is very dark in there. and hot. (so hot it made me feel better about our last week's sauna reading at a&b.) jordan told us about made-up south american poets and anselm told us about working on his father's collected works. even though we were all sweating, i laughed a lot and learned a lot. this is a good combination i think. as the learning comes in, the sweat pours out. maybe this should be a new spa treatment. poetry detox. language sweat-lodge. verse body scrubs. sonnets and steam room.
