Now that we know how he listened a little too much to Gordon Lish, I think there are other aspects to parody.<br />He was a great one, and that too, leaves me less inclined to enjoy seeing him made fun of.<br />But again, thanks for the poem.MDJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793388758122524855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475969042192089612.post-31822322844822681142009-11-02T12:25:33.696-05:002009-11-02T12:25:33.696-05:00Hey Anthony.
