I'd like to be "contagiously smart & supple & capacious" (& seductive) when discussing poetry.

Too late, Stephanie--you already are.

Stephanie comes about as close to that blogtopia as anybody I can think of--how "our lives & poetry cross each other's boundaries," exactly.

I'll admit that in that region I've been tentative. My poetry seemed to get better when I stopped talking about myself.

And contaigous--it was reading Stephanie's blog that started me down this lonely road. Reading her makes me want to move to the Bay Area. And I already live here.

And yes, cheers to Steve for getting down & dirty in the bloggy muck with the rest of us.
