Kerri (Sonnenberg) arrived this morning, got her settled in then took her to campus...
...we just got back from a nice lunch at the Boulder Cafe...i had a Gorgonzola salad, she had some kind of vegie wrap with cucumber sauce...we both had water...she's in class with Joan Rettallack until 6:30, then off to the bar with us!
E-Rob (Elizabeth Robinson) gave an interesting talk this afternoon called "Ecology of Beauty"...topics included: irony vs. beauty in contemporary poetry, Wallace Stevens and George Albon, Retallack, Duncan on Olson, SF community etc etc...
...currently listening to Ziyia Travels With Karagiozis (just came in the mail!!!)

...
irony vs beauty, as mutually exclusive concepts?
no, not mutually exclusive, more like a comment on what elizabeth sees as the "cult of irony" with regards to our "experimental poetry" community...i could be reading too much into her lecture but i felt some of it was directed at flarf...sue me...
irony can be earnest too
seriously
