Arts Pod People

That’s what native New Yorker Gil Sorrentino and I used to call suburban Californians, commiserating with the blinds drawn against the sun in his California university office, where he, like all poets with academic jobs, seemed a little chained. (Listen to audio files of the late, great Sorrentino here.)
Sometime Stranger contributor Travis Nichols this week has an interview on Weird Deer Media with the poet Eileen Myles that reminds me of Sorrentino.
The interview contains a link to a terrific, long profile of Myles that focuses on her stranding in San Diego, and the dirt of art. Written by one of Myles’s former students, it was published in January.
i think art is beautiful, the art 'biz' is dirt.
tomorrow i'll post my recent work at the vox profile - they are to be given to our 20th high school reunion people. you know how one gets those group photo 8x12 glossies at these reunions. well, i can't imagine anyone ever wanting to display those things, unless!!! there is psychedelic transpariencies to overlay, with cryptic messages contained!
jonah, i don't how to respond to your specific-less email.
Wow! Jen knows real live New YORKERS! Holy shit! Shes been to Cal-i-fornia! Snooze-a-fuckin-rama....
Don't forget the sneering condescension towards the commoners.
