the swirling

Robert Grenier

One of my very favourite poets, RG is 65 today. Happy Birthday Bob.

"When, in the writing of things, you begin to look at them as a reader, as if they were yours but not yours, that's a sign of things starting to light up." RG

Here is a letter Grenier wrote to Jacket Magazine - a response to an essay on Zukofsky. The last page is beautiful and quite pertinent to students of John Kells.
