Local publisher John Hunter put it up for me a couple of months ago. It's been great! Recent gallery of the Extempore (magazine) poetry & jazz reading at the Shop well worth seeing!collectedworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768731698615085925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815203981220831859.post-61406936618005953102011-01-16T18:27:25.250+11:002011-01-16T18:27:25.250+11:00Richard Lopez

Had a look at yr blog too and, as is the way, followed a link or two, e.g., Tom Beckett. Spence is just as you surmise. Add humour.<br /> <br />And of course --re rocknrollers & poetry --youre quite right. Btw, Richard Hell visited the bookshop (i coordinate here) in the early 90s; Laurie Shapiro brought him to say hello i think [she's a fiction writer and filmmaker in New York]. He needed cash for a coat he'd seen around the corner, sold me some "merchandise". My late son Tim, a musician [see Royal Flush, 'Punk Purge : Teddy Boy Tales', GOD, Bored!, The Powder Monkeys] & his mum Retta had spoken to Richard at a venue called The Lounge the night or two before where RH was showing a movie & talking. In recent times Sonic Youth folks came by, espec. Thurston Moore scouring our shelves for the rarer New York poetry pamphlets! Wch reminds me, time i got them all back on the shelf!<br />Tim would like to have written poems but told me that they never worked out. He wrote songs (the words + the sounds). But i have published some of his writing on this blog (see his name in the index). <br />Big subject...collectedworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768731698615085925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815203981220831859.post-11136090691990449772011-01-07T12:34:58.468+11:002011-01-07T12:34:58.468+11:00Richard
