I put them on to mp3 prior to them going to the Test Centre for sale.. this meant I had to listen to them and Olson really sounded like a bumptious macho boor ..insultingly so … Bill tells me I don’t understand what he is saying and I told Bill I don’t want to…. Creeley was cool as was Duncan.. there is a much better transcript of the Lecture by Ralph Maud from 1969.. also a brilliantly annotated transcript of the reading. He mentions that the proceedings were well re-called in the Detroit magazine Work Issue 2 by Robin Eichele .. also photos by Magdalene Arndt. This looks like a tricky issue to find…

this site looks good for Vancouver..

A pity it was closed. Glimpsed Evergreen through the darkened window. Will call next year.

She had a fine shop and will be missed –

Dave Hasselwood was a friend, and later I became a printer myself. At the time I was writing Six Poets of the San Francisco Renaissaince. Do they have a phone number? I would like to call and visit sometime, maybe find some early mags where I published my first poems, and take them some books to show.

It’s not easy for any independent bookstore or gallery anywhere, and it’s not easy for any store in Beacon, so Kudos and thank you to Jon and Christian for being here and raising the bar.

Very few copies of very few titles but most items were never for sale in the first place. It is on consignment from Holbrook Teter’s widow.
