A and I went to our second ballroom dancing class at the Pla-Mor Ballroom tonight. That's right. I said it. My posture is getting better. Basic steps for the following dances have been learned so far: Fox Trot, Swing, Waltz, Country Waltz. My favorite: country waltz.

Books received:

The Song of Igor's Campaign translated by Bill Johnston
New Translations Osip Mandelstam
Stack by Edwin Frank
Flight Test by Lewis Warsh
shelley gave jane a guitar by Richard Meier
Remnants of Hannah by Dara Wier
Occupational Treatment by Taylor Brady
Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire

I don't know which to read first. I've already nibbled a bit in all of them. I think I'll go with the Lewis Warsh first (he is quickly approaching the middle pack of my po-favs list). Then I'll hit the Meier and the Wier. The 'ier-er's.

hey,
you should check out the warsh "essay" in CONJUNCTIONS issue on film from lik 3 issues ago. The issue is called "cinema lingua" it think, and the Warsh is just this gossipy and lovely Hollywood piece. Good to see him getting such attention these days.
