![]() Monday, July 28, 2003 The Pitch: It's like Jacob's Ladder Meets The Secret History! ....No you and me/It's John Ashbery's birthday today (although the Writer's Almanac website isn't updated--thank goodness I get their little email now), and I had been struck with something like relief when I saw his name and wee poem--so much so, I broke out my copy of Flow Chart, a book of his I picked up about a year ago and have started three times (I am not your go-to guy for very long poems). I'm on page eight now, which is twice as far as I've made it on any previous read, so I feel like celebrating-- although part of that, I'm sure, is the relief of being able to put both The Castle and A Tale of Two Cities aside (again). I'm writing this at work. How can you tell? Because I'm stopping before I've really started, that's how. That's how work happens here: I start writing and it starts rolling in.... posted by Jeff Lester | 3:42 PM | |
