Peadar, your metaphor...Wonderful interview, John! <br /><br />Peadar, your metaphor of the ball, in the world of poetry is excellent! <br /><br />I'm absolutely with you on the question of having a tangible book in one's hands. I definitely agree that a few on the shelves of appreciative readers is more satistfying than a multitude of downloads.<br /><br />I'm also of the same mind when it comes to the rawness of a poem and will usually rattle things off without too much fuss - except if I'm working with rhyme and want it to be precise.<br /><br />I hope we all do get meet one day; imagine the uproarious time we'd all have!<br /><br />Lastly, if we have anything to do with it, the Poetry Bus Mag will live and thrive and conquer!<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-37037653642548821962010-12-16T08:17:33.470-08:002010-12-16T08:17:33.470-08:00Excellent interview with a true legend of our time...Excellent interview with a true legend of our time. Personally, I don't really care if someone wants to publish me on paper, in an ezine, on tablets of stone, so long as they think I'm worth publishing.<br />Being a very lazy sort of person, I can honestly say that without the Poetry Bus I would probably write very little, so many thanks to Peadar for that.Peter Gouldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292063172122249202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-54078723424766869252010-12-16T08:00:31.390-08:002010-12-16T08:00:31.390-08:00Brilliant.
