I always link to Powell's, too. We spent 3 or 4 days in Portland a few years back. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I first set foot in that bookstore. We should have brought an empty suitcase to carry home all the books we bought! A breathtaking poetry section they've got there!L.

If you repost, just credit "Why I Write in Coffee Houses and Diners," perhaps with a link to somewhere it may be purchased. I don't link to amazon, hence the link to Powells but whatever works.<br /><br />@Charles - spot-on my friend, knowing deeply all the flaws and loving anyway.

I've been searching vaguely for some thing and didn't know it was this manifesto I needed. Hope it's OK if I re-post it on my blog. Thanks, Don. That poem about being mostly water... right on.L.

Re...Don, your comments hit the heart of the matter. Reading Huff this morning makes me long for some rain. The depth of his writing so apparent in this grouping of his peoms...and the Eastern quality more apparent than ever. May his words live on forever and stir the souls of generations to come. I'm gushing, but this post so makes Huff come alive for me.LoneStarLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082939836052122740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-22110494541452475952010-05-21T07:14:30.661-04:002010-05-21T07:14:30.661-04:00Amazing poems.
