Everything is of the moment. <I>Now</I> is where that which changes encounters that which does not change, where the ephemeral and the eternal meet.<BR/>-<BR/>Maybe that is why, in spite of what little I know--largely due to my having spent 20+ consecutive years away from poets and poem-making, I find Lyn Hejinian's and Susan Howe's and Ron Silliman's work appealing.<BR/>-<BR/>Wish this program attracted more, especially more comments.<BR/>-<BR/>Thank you,<BR/>Brianbrian (baj) salcherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649691450577647656noreply@blogger.com
