“The reading of a poem should be an experience. Its writing must be all the more so.”__Wallace Stevens from the book Opus Posthumous “I write to define myself—an act of self-creation—part of [the] process of becoming—In a dialogue with myself, with writers I admire living and dead, with ideal readers…” ___from Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963 by Susan Sontag “You see these bits by Sarki? You won’t find bits like these exhibited under any name save his. This is because Sarki’s triumph is to have succeeded in overcoming himself as poseur, the occupation consuming the best of us ordinarily, in order to release the poetry in universal occupancy. The bits that follow make sense to me. Is this a pose? Beats me. Like Sarki, I’m just doing what I might to have a terrific time too.” ___Gordon Lish
