    what else but an
    'holy erotica' eh?

    there is/was a group of Women "Beats" ( connected to The Beat Men Poets at-the-hips/ribs/and hearts

    who remain "Goddesses of Fertility"

    I think a lot of the Women Beat s "stuff" is here, in the University of Md.'s library..

    and

    as I recall Lenore was very close to Lew Welsh... et al!

    Lenore Kandel's obituary ran across the top of a page of the San Francisco Chronicle; the lower left quarter of the page was devoted to a Viagra advertisement. I'm not sure. Do you think we're better off now?

    Excellent article, Ed, thanks.

    If this is an implied choice from the Chronicle, Kandel or viagra, I'm ever so yesterday. Thanks, Charles, I'll check out the obit.
