man poetry (i.e. i’ve fucked up + i know it, i pity myself just the same). however—it slaps.

This is the book in which David Bromige invents L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry. I know Ron was reading this one early on, and I bet others were, too. Fascinating book. Bromige manages to have his emotions and parody them mercilessly at the same time. Brilliant.

All David's books are on my kitchen table today.

"We can send someone in your place, they assured him. Great, & who was it. You, they replied."

Sent too soon.
