We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Subject: Re: Howl Author: happydagger [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:26:41 06/10/01 Sun In reply to: Pug 's message, "Re: Howl" on 19:01:32 06/09/01 Sat sabado gigante...muy loco. ginsberg kind of changed my writing, in some deranged way. when i was a young punk & still thought that poetry had to rhyme & sound like freakin' shakespeare, somebody turned me on to ginsberg. it opened my eyes. i started writing magnificent free verse drivel, reams & sheaves of it, & thought i had reached some sort of literary enlightenment. my writing still sucked, but it sucked in a much more entertaining way.
