San Francisco’s Angry Poet
One of my favorite poets, August Kleinzahler, uses a Smith-Corona typewriter exclusively, and sometimes while sitting on the toilet. In the photo, the bad boy of American poetry has a drink at one of his hangouts, the Zam Zam bar in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.
Spent the morning working on blog design, that is, WordPress stuff. Also, I received a huge pile of microcassette tapes from a guy on eBay who just wanted to offload them pretty cheap. I plan to use them in my Cassette Tape Radio Show. That’s all coming soon — now that I’m recovering from carpal tunnel surgery.
