How can you attack someone
1) you dont know
2) you have not studied
3) ifhe thinks exactly like you: to encourage and renew poetry
in the American idiom?
If you have not suffered you cannot make others to suffer
Take a long look at yourself in the mirror
Perhaps, you have no idea what you are up against.
What if I am exactly what you are looking for?
Dont become famous as the guy that hated me because I actually did something about poetry in our time. You dont see me attacking you in public. Remember my work is not done until I step into the coffin…so dont make too many early judgments.
Shakespeare, Edward de Vere, revised his work for 35 years before we get to see the results in the folios.
Your rush to Judgement tells me exactly everything about you
Send me your address and I will send you the latest book. Then you can judge ok?
Hell, we even both live in Italy.
Man!
All that matters is who is derivative and who is original….It s not over till its over…until then try to be poets and be kind and support each other
