"But I've got a full-time job.", I replied. "I mean, we're talking ten-hour days here."
"Oh, yeah?" she says, "Where?"
"Over at Silliman's Links", I told her.
We have a still-living former board member named Norris McNamara. But the infamous Robert S. was NEVER on the board.
Can you please correct this scurrilous bit of misinformation?
Let's see: the no name in Sausalito is across from the waterfront. The newspaper article about the bar linked to here mentions that Sterling Hayden used to hang at the no name (Hayden I guess is best known as an actor but wrote a great book about the sea, the auto-biog Wanderer, and one decent enough sea-novel (Voyage)). Then there are the links today that concern concern Pease's Tod Moran sea stories.
Well, is it any surprise that I now have me a major case of Friday wanderlust, thank you very much.
Hoist the sails, mate!
I wonder whether the reviewer shares my take on the interchangeability of the writing over the spectrum of its various sections?
Is the ellipses of blanks intended to suggest a generic criticism of the text, or a satire on the review cliche?
If criticism is irrelevant, then perhaps so is taste.
But taste is the basis for all discrimination (in the aesthetic sense).
Surely we aren't going there....
I noticed that you linked to every review available at Tim Atkin's fabulous Onedit, with the one exception of Tim's review of Tosa Motokiyu's *Also with My Throat I Shall Swallow Ten Thousand Swords (Combo Books)*, the follow-up to *Doubled Flowering: From the Notebooks of Araki Yasusada*.
There've been a decent number of online reviews of Also with My Throat: Postmodern Culture, Jacket, Boston Globe, American Book Review, Fascicle, a couple others. None of which you've ever linked to, either.
I hadn't thought anything of that, really, but after this rather noticeable omission today, you can hardly blame me for the note!
:~)
Kent
That's tons and tons of poetry, and a very generous assessment.
Who needs that much poetry?
The government should pay people not to write poetry, the way farmers get paid not to raise certain crops in order to keep the prices up.
There's too much good poetry and it's keeping the price down.
The government should pay poets a hundred grand a year to do something else like farm, or participate in the military conquests of farflung countries that badly need democracy.
