Poems-For-All's Interests
|
| Television | Even after 800 seasons, I still have a soft spot for The Simpsons. Where else on mainstream tv can you find a homage to the Glory Hole? Or a cartooned Thomas Pynchon (with the elusive author's real voice) talking about his new cookbook The Frying of Latka 49? Old British Sitcoms always make me laugh when the local PBS station deigns to run them, particularly Are You Being Served and Keeping up Appearances. But television cuts into reading time, which I have less and less of. | | Books | Thomas Pynchon (Gravity's Rainbow and The Crying of Lot 49 in particular); Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting, Glue)as well as others emerging from the exciting New Scottish Writing Movement including Alan Warner (Movern Callar) and Iain Banks (Wasp Factory); Ken Kesey (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Sometimes a Great Notion); J.G. Ballard (Crash). |

Poems-For-All's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm not a poet, but love poetry. Enough so that I dedicate much of my free time to a little project called Poems-For-All where I put poems into little booklets about the size of a matchbook. More like the size of a business card folded in half. Hey, someone has to do it. My wife and I own a bookstore and we've been doing monthly poetry readings there for a few years now -- a great way to get to hear the poets you like.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
People who run their fingers and tongues along the sharpest edges of creativity. I love hearing about, and in the right circumstances, collaborating with others who are doing interesting things in, with, and to the arts.
