and I had scant contacts, and only two of those
(possibly three) were meaningful.              
                                                
However, first go to Ron Silliman's Blog and    
search out his Saturday, September 13, 2008.

". . . poems are, or should be, experiences          
in themselves, and not just accounts of or   
commentaries on experience; they should be   
additions to the world, not simply annotations
to it."                                      
-                                              
This is a quote from Reginald Shepherd's essay:
On Difficulty in Poetry which is available at
J. J. Gallaher's site here.

Earlier this year when I was posting on my
Rhodingeedaddee site/ sections of what had
been my Tripod Brian's Brain log from 2000,
Reginald Shepherd (having somehow found it,
and thinking I was writing about 2008 events   
in my life) placed beneath page 4 a comment
which exemplifies his empathetic spirit.
If you wish to, see here.              
                                     
In March of 2008, "Robert Duncan and Me"   
appeared on Reginald Shepherd's Blog.  11
comments are beneath that post.  Do read
his post and the comments beneath it, if
you take this link to there.
