I was living in Provincetown when you were there in the late 80s/early 90s, and while you were attending UA, I was a few hundred miles away at San Diego State University, reading the same poets and attending creative writing classes. You mention "strong teachers who had built poetry cultures at particular schools," and for those of us at SDSU in the 70s, it was Carolyn Forche. She brought in Phillip Levine, Adrienne Rich, and Merwin as guest readers, and it was all very heady and wonderful. I'm amazed and envious that you were studying with Shelton at that time. Carolyn turned me on to his poetry and I loved it.<BR/>Thanks for all of your wonderful blog posts. I so enjoy what you and Paul write.<BR/>~Tina BrowneUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276610231260863101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755123332716147532.post-51449525452002378772009-02-19T15:31:00.000-08:002009-02-19T15:31:00.000-08:00Thanks for posting your talk.
