The Poet Upstairs

I saw John read for the very first time this past weekend. He was introduced as the greatest living poet... quite right! I recently did a little piece on him for the second issue of Do's fantastic Paris, LA. Like I told him (and am telling you right now), with all earnestness and obeisance, "I don't think of poetry as being futile or masochistic, I think it's pretty badass to be a poet in today's world." Paris, LA... available only at the finest retailers... oui, oui...
