Black Spring: "I and some we need to completely separate 'identity' from all consciousness of my/our poetic(s) community. To write such that no self-conscious, and also no more 'unconscious,' writing engagement is directed at, directed for, 'poets' we have in our mind's eye and ears at all junctures of the process."

I'm so far away from accomplishing such a separation, or even imagining or desiring it, that I have to admire Steve for thinking so far outside the box. I've always wanted to write as a poet for other poets, in some kind of giant allusive conversation.

Email is down. Which doesn't stop me from checking it obsessively every 10 minutes to see whether it's up yet. The whole University of Kansas server seems to be down, in fact.
