The War in Iraq

 

The revolution going on in American poetry is more revolutionary than what is seen in Asiatic-Indian poetry, fx – in European poetry, fx – in African poetry, fx – there are no train-surfing poets in Russia, because if you were to duck your head up you’d be shot…

 

Australia is, and will forever be, a training ground and resting place – not a continent of straight shooters – though they harbour some of the best poets of this century…

 

We shut the rest the fuck up with wars…

 

It’s not oil the war in Iraq is about – it’s poetry…
