Dear Devon--and Pk: many thanks--i believe Pk deserves so much of the credit
for superb job both in having the idea and rvn more f presentation! am quite
stunned by it
devon i have meant to write to you for eons i did recieve yr letter
and projects and urging to "coming back at ya" via mail--i had for nearly
a month
before winding up in emergency room a very serious sinus infection which
kind of limited anything i did to the minimum for a day just te know i had
done something, hence the long lamented reply that they are delightfully
here
(due to many preivous near death experiencs with hospitals am
always
terrified that if i go in wil never get out aive! so idiotically tempt
fate by staying away long as possible--figuring bettter just to croack ,be
lt
among the trees or some place outdoors or in my shack--)
(recall first time in hospital with borken back begging the priest
to given me medal with words to effect to allow me to die beside side of
road or
whether--much as Catholics used to wear those medallions saying "in case
of
emergenices notify a roman catholic priest--of course they don't condone
suicide so wdn't go along with this!)
i hope all goes well in school--something abt the Fall and school
always a season of great excitement and promise! all those new books and
people to meet!
never having been to art school wd be glad to learn of what all goes
on there--do they provide good access to lot of free materials? any good
exchanges with students and teachers' good way to hone one's ideas is via
such
contacts--
just remember that for an artist/poet all is grist for the mill! we
are all thieves and cannibals of many sorts--and so always find something
of
use--whether going along with and learning some basic and useful things or
rebelling agassnt its useless meaning aspects as it tries out
understanding our own
such responses, and we are better able to articulate and examine our
responses,
ideas, etc
not to mention you have the fluxlist and other loons to kept in
touch with--so some good stories to tell!
onwo/ards with the projects and work!
all best
