These are all quickies.
I bought some books:
Alan Dugan Poems Seven: New and Complete Poems
(Haesong let me borrow this for a while but I just bought a used copy on Abe.)
Jack Spicer My Vocabulary Did This to Me
Ben Mirov Ghost Machine
Lucas Farrell Birds Any Damn Kind

My friend Karen's mom got me Carta Blanca from just across the border. I drank three last night I drank them while I talked to my friend Jason Frisbie. I got kind of buzzed, it's all 3.2 beer in Oklahoma, and I talked about Dugan--like how I like him and how he is a middle-class Bukowski, someone much more relate-able to the young male rust-belt mind set. Dugan went to college, not great colleges, and worked office jobs I think. At least the work points to that. Some of his poems are about ad agencies, but he is the Peggy, not the Don Draper.

I also watched Army of Shadows (1969), which was the saddest film I think I have ever seen. It is amazing.
