Was going to begin this in a wise-ass manner, but. . . .

Mr. Goldsmith,

Your appropriative, uncreative, et cetera approach requires
a level of patience and stamina and whetever else
I do not possess although there have been periods in my life
when I have managed myself and time in similar ways.

-

On appropriation: If you know--unless there really is
another Brian Salchert, would you be willing to send
me an email regarding who appropriated my name
in the comments beneath your 11-14-2007 Play List
in Paper Cuts? I don't intend to do anything about
it, but I would like to know.


Thank you,
Brian A. J. Salchert

Ah great, thanks. As for "conceptual poetry", it seems to me all poetry is and ought to be conceptual, but this is the thing I really love and appreciate about it-- its willingness to give itself away on the internet, making it accessible to all across borders.

Since the focus on technique and genre these talks demonsrate inexorably leads to the reverence for names, it's obvious that what this all boils down to is: professional maneuvers of, by, and for the professional cognoscenti.
