  1. no comments? concomitant to the WW 'tweaks' to his poem
    was just yesterday listening to Walter Sutton interviewing WCW
    in which Williams speaks several times about Walt W's
    poetry.... very neat interview.... many points and dots-along-the-way
    made

    will see if I can find the interview and send it to you.

    was struck by the thought that poetry has become/is a synonym for the conventional
    mostly and however ?
