Really enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>This whole question of where poets need to be to really "count" as poets and catch the full force of the new, is a great question btw. Strikes me as a very American one too--the country with no real capital, too big to hope for one cultural center, too ornery to really swallow the kind of prestige the older European institutions (Oxbridge, Academie Francaise) dispense with so readily. You're never going to get your name on a dollar bill here, por ejemplo. The struggle over that question "Where should I be?"--London? New York? Rapallo, Italy? Paris? New Haven, CT??--is an acute one for the poets we've studied so far, and might be an interesting angle to investigate.rodney khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515711262628729312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20990868.post-1141455639180329902006-03-03T23:00:00.000-08:002006-03-03T23:00:00.000-08:00Right on, Dallas!

For what it's worth, my dad's from a farm near Marysville, KS. So I know a little something about DaDas from Kansas.
