"I consider a growing group of writers key, essential figures: among these writers are Olson, Zukofsky, HD, Stein, Mac Low, Pound, Jabes, WCW, Pessoa, Vallejo," says Tony.

OK, but we just buried a magazine dedicated to this constellation; you might remember it, it was named after an element. [Mean-spirited dismissal of a lifework redacted].

I liked it better when Tony was talking about a regional focus -- Borderlands suggests that that might be a great way to go, as long as it doesn't devolve, so to speak, into a discussion of states' rights.
