* Donald Hall talks about wanting to become a poet. My wife wouldn't let me out looking like that.

* I'm not normally a fan of performance poetry these days, but I like this rough vid of Murray Lachlan Young doing a park-based rendition of Simply Everyone's Taking Cocaine.



* Obits: two poets died very recently - Lydia Tomkiw, a US poet; read Sharon Mesmer's tribute. I first heard about this on Martin Stannard's excellent ezine, Exultations and Difficulties. Lincoln hosted one of the gigs that Lydia was on with Martin and Paul Violi. I have photos. I may dig them out.

The other poet was Bill Griffiths.
