...Koyanis is suggesting that my collection is a variant of some authoritative printed anthology, she is mistaken because none exists. The typography of Poetic Work is my construal in that medium of Dickinson's poesis based on my own handwritten interpretations of photographic facsimiles and, in some instances, the original manuscripts. (Neither the principle of selection in Poetic Work nor my approach to the problem of representing the poetry in print for the general reader was derived from any particular typographic edition. And I made no photocopies of any source materials.) Koyanis' statement could even give the impression that...
FRIENDS CLONES ARE PILING UP like drifts this season. Viewers of such shows as Caroline in the City and Partners have been inundated by a flurry of awful blind dates, a blizzard of mistaken sexual identities, a foot and a half to two feet of jokes ending with the punch line "Anna Nicole Smith."

...himself in the distinguished company of the remaining few who stil entertain the misplaced notion that Israel is yet to justify its existence. I do hate to break the news, but Israel is not perfect, it never has been and it never will be. But unless I am gravely mistaken, good manners and perfect unity were not mentioned by Woodrow Wilson in 1918 as a prerequisite for independent nationhood. I have yet to be informed of a universal association of national standardization which ensures that imperfect countries are closed down and sold to the highest bidder...
