A question re the New American poetry:
whatever became of Edward Marshall?
article you found. I've only read his book on bandits, but I like him.
thanks.
This summer I took a workshop at Naropa with Anselm Hollo, in which we read some Edward Marshall, and, per Anselm's suggestion, sent postcards to Marshall's last known address (in Marshall, NC). I thought to put a return address on mine, and a couple weeks later, received the postcard back with a sticker from the post office on it informing me that Marshall is now deceased. I've always wondered if anyone in the poetry world knew. Hate to be the bringer of this bad news.

There is a new anthology of poets working with this theme coming out from Trinity Press edited by Lynn Domina.
I especially like how he touched upon the Beat use of the Psalms. Ginsberg's poems set in Seattle, Seattle Afternoon and the one just after that, cite quite heavily form the Psalms.
It was interesting to have that idea come up: that the psalms have taught us how to sound when we want to sound apocalyptic.
