Yeah, some of them are quite Stein-y. The strange part is that I hadn’t read nearly any Stein at the time I wrote them. I arrived at them from listening to myself stutter, and by listening to people talk on the phone. Or perhaps Stein communicated to me using some kind of indirect cultural transmission.

i am looking forward to the audio tracks for these poems as i feel these poems will take on a further dimension with their quasi-anaphoric texture…
and your self-interview was smart indeed…
