Perhaps one flaw to blog software -- or at least the software I've used -- is that the comments to entries are hidden in the background: you have to select them to read them. I'd like to see them apppear on the same level as the original entry. Blogs, perhaps, might then be more interactive, even more interactive than listservs (you won't have to sift through all the other comments unrelated to the thread you're engaged with). Thus, what follows are Gustav Morin's comments on Hat(s) and Van(s) which I copied and pasted into the foreground, into the landscape of this blog:
as a somewhat unqualified maker of new poetries in this tundra-country of canada, very little of what could be called 'my efforts' would leave the house were it not for the very certain brave strides made by editors like Ross Priddle in tiny, blink-and-you'll-miss-it ephemeral publications like Van. that these efforts sometimes make it as far away as australia speaks volumes on the cultural value of the few figures we have operating between the cracks and at a loss to traffic in colossal words and images for the benefit of our poetic herd tomorrow.it should also be noted that Ross, in a matter of two years, has published my work far and away more often than any other in a writing-journey that has been on-going for the past 14 years. for this i want to thank you Ross!
someone give this man a few thousand dollars already that we may see what he could do with a little financial support.
