23

5:58 PM -- and it's windy and cold, nasty-- whoo whoop ahrew--and I have been bouncin' from blog to blog while trying to assemble a theme variation, an autobio conjuncting of incidents pertinent to where I and who I/ am these/ tremulous days. - This year John Latta intends to write a poem each day. Reminds me of 1976, and also of Tom Montag's multi-year project. But Montag is a minimalist, and Latta--well, you have to read what he writes: there is no one like him. - "The force that through the green fuse drives the flower. . . ." - Only that in which humans participate can survive and thrive in the kingdoms of humans. Right now the sentiment is negative with regard to U.S. stocks. - Life is starting to get interesting over at Bank of America. Am considering beginning coverage of its stock (BAC) on Monday. If I do, sometime after 5 PM a post will be made at Money Rho. rho00267

There's also A. R. Ammons (my hero) and his Tape for the Turn of the Year, written from December 6, 1963 through January 10, 1964, on a roll of adding-machine tape. I've never done anything of the kind, but it's intriguing....

Tape for the Turn of the Year inspired me to write my much shorter but narrower Birthday Ribbons, written from January 11 through 16 of--I think--1977. It is now online in my Sets book. Could go on revising it forever, but have given up. Donald Justice helped me with it when I studied under him at UF. He said it was the most American of the poems of mine he had seen. It was, and that was one of the reasons I showed it to him.
