Certain...Alastair: Bob and I got the Eigner done. Certainly someone can get their shit together to do Darrell's collected.<br /><br />My first experience with Darrell's work was a generous introductory selection published in Poetry (Chicago) Magazine way back in the late 1960's. About 10 pages of stuff. Absolutely top rate work, though a bit work-shoppy in its approach (Darrell was a student there at the time the poems were accepted). <br /><br />I got to know him some while he was in Iowa City in 1969 and 1970. He would come over to my place, or out to the farm we lived on one year. Emotionally, he was all fucked up, but brilliant in an eclectic kind of way, and quick with good takes and riffs on almost any subject that came up. The alcohol was one way he had of sublimating his loneliness and sexual frustration. I saw him towards the end one night at a Berkson-Greenwald reading in San Francisco--smashed out of his mind but benign and upbeat nevertheless. God knows how he got along. And then he was gone.Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972204114641150902.post-62436494259513686982010-01-25T21:31:33.496-08:002010-01-25T21:31:33.496-08:00like we used to say in the 80s, "While you...like we used to say in the 80s, "While you're up, get me a grant..."poltroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036759189836532017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972204114641150902.post-37501893631277040702010-01-25T18:43:26.935-08:002010-01-25T18:43:26.935-08:00typo fixed--the hazards of retyping rather than sc...typo fixed--the hazards of retyping rather than scanning.

I would love to do a Darrell Collected but dont have the $5 grand (minimum) that it would take to print and no possibility of recouping any of it!!poltroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036759189836532017noreply@blogger.com
