And I’m back. On a day I’m not hungover in Spain and with my answers to the Proust Questionnaire though I’ve been reading Rimbaud all day. (Let’s just mix Proust and Rimbaud today. Here’s a photo of me in Paris in 2010.) Proust didn’t invent the questionnaire but he did answer the questions in a confession album/confession book. Twice, in fact. In 1886 and 1891. A confession album being a type of parlor game Victorians were into. But really, who knows how honest any of them were. My aim here is honesty.
AD, you are so clever and smart and brilliantly protect your heart, mind & gentle sensitivity with the articulate armor that is your intelligence and wicked wit. Bravo! Music for Chameleons is one of my favorite books, too. If you have not read Capote’s Children On Their Birthdays I will find a copy for you to add to your collection. See you on 27 March at your reading at Albertine.
#9 - This is a perfect, compassionate answer and I love it.
#20 - Absolutely. Cannot wait to be a wealthy simpleton in my next life.
Enjoy Spain!

I really dont like you Alex. Much too urban. Utterly superficial. How can you do poetry with such a mind?
Do you find New York and London fertile inspiration for your poetry?
Where do you feel most fecund?
