Lear: And my poor fool is hanged. No, no life? Why should a dog, a horse, a rat have life, And thou no breath at all? O, thou wilt come no more, never, never, never. Pray you, undo this button. Thank you, sir. O, O, O, O.

You're mean! (ha)
FYI, in Sept. of last year SH came to my campus & I wrote a little about it here: http://beingandwriting.blogspot.com/2007/09/guess-who.html
Hi Kate, yes, I suppose there's a little of that. Impossible for me to read crit by Pound, Carruth and Hamill himself during my formative years and not let a little of that attitude and tongue into my own prose.
I really admire Sam and the bulk of his work -- must have almost everything he's ever written. Back in grad school, I used to write him letters and ask for input on my poetry and anything else I could think of to ask him. We wrote back and forth for about two years before I left school. Still have the letters obviously.
