the ladies in my life...

oh, and tomorrow make sure to head over to Orange Alert (I'll put up a dirct link) and read the interview with Luis Berriozabal, one of the absolute masters of poetry in the small press (and this makes the eighth GPP Poet interviewed). google his name and read anything you find; his work is unparalleled and purely unique. nobody does it like my friend LCB, that's for sure. his spare, beautiful work is capable of evoking whole universes of emotion and can lay open the small tragic wounds of blue collar life in a way that makes bearing them seem possible. his honest lines echo in the deep chambers of the soul and will make you consider the frailty as well as the triumph of our ever-changing and ever-pressured humanity.
