Thanks in particular for more information on Ferlinghetti. I had no idea he had been in the service. You are a fount of interesting facts.

This fact is true!!!!:

Ferlinghetti wrote: "I have a feeling I'm falling /on rare occasions / but most of the time I have my feet on the ground / I can't help it if the ground itself is falling."

So our ground is likely falling or rising, folks, without regard of the desired ups and downs of Mr. Ferlinghetti. But it doesn't hurt a thing desiring it.

Be well, do good work wishing, and keep within Garrison's touch.®

I think it may be determined too by the size of the loose meteroriites in nearby space. We are either pulled or pushed. Kinda reminds one of politics, doesn't it?

As usual GK writes the finest quick bio, drilling down and exposing the heart of the matter. The short biographies in his Good Poems anthologies are as entertaining as the selections presented, or very nearly.
