Very important to me in learning more about the poetic of Hedgewitch, for reasons only the Old Ones truly understand: 1) escape route from twisters (no basement); 2) blues; 3) secret archaologist (I'm with ya there, Hedge - last one to Karnak is rotten egg!) 4) Wallace Stevens had prohibitive politics. Hope you can round the others up soon for chow.

Poe as the token male. I don't want to be the fifth person, I want to be a fly on the wall.<br />Great interview, Izy.<br />Hedge, dear, when I get my new earth-moving equipment, I'll come out there to help you dig a storm cellar. When I lived on the west coast of BC, "grab the kid brother, nieces and nephews, throw them in the car and head for the hills" was my earthquake plan, but I suspect it lacked something.<br />I'm just about to post some of that <br />"bad poetry" you two were discussing. I woke up in the middle of the night and scribbled something in the bathroom -- four words for a poetry sketch, enlarged upon it before dawn this morning. Not great stuff at all.<br />Stay well, both of you.<br />Luv, KKay L.

And it kept saying "goody! goody!" all the way down the page, as Izy asked the BEST and most original questions, and Hedgie so ably answered them. Fantastic read on a rainy Thursday morning, ladies. I, too, loved the dinner guest list........do you think someone could make a video, at least of the live participants? You could sit mannequins of Poe and Emily at the end of the table????<br /><br />Hedge, I loved what you said about the levels of poetry, and that if someone is writing authentically, it is meaningful, if not always highly crafted. <br /><br />I must say I often am in wonder, at the glorious company I am keeping online........never in my wildest dreams, years back, did I think I would be privileged to write and interact with so many wonderfully talented poets. <br /><br />Kerry, thank you, too.

All I can say is: "This lady knows stuff" and I want to learn it on the steps of Athens.<br /><br />Brilliant: many writers don’t really want to spend the time it takes to learn the craft, and many audiences don’t really want to spend the time it takes to understand it. <br /><br />Thank you both for this: Izy for asking the questions, which gave us the goods, and Hedgie for the goods.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.com
