Still Here.

I haven't left the country, just busy with the school thing.  Midterm and all that.  I know, it's a shoddy excuse, but it's the only one I have.  I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know I haven't abandoned the blog, I've just been busy doing other things.

I do want to comment on an interesting phenomena.  I checked out a couple of the "Best poetry of 19xx" books and read through them.  For some odd reason, they didn't resonate like a book written by a single poet.  I wonder why that is?  These were all poems that had been published in various publications, but for some reason, they left me kind of flat.  Why would that be?  Maybe it was the mix of styles, flipping and flopping in too narrow a space?  I dunno.  I won't do that again, though.  I will continue to check out poetry books, but they're going to be by one poet.  I'm still mining great lines.

Well, gotta run.  More life stuff getting in the way.  Until later....
