Drawn to arrogance
Dennis Johnson was an arrogant man, an ass even. He treated his assistant like a menial, he saved his attention for the powerful and influential in the room, he practically raised writers from infancy, he made money at publishing poetry and he generally electrified any space he occupied.
Dennis is dead at 58. (http://www.bookcentre.ca/news/dennis_johnson_19522011)
I admired him greatly. He built a press that was incomparable in it’s milieu, he championed the industry and he was very, very successful in an arena that chewed up and spat out presses annually. How do you eulogized a man like this? How do you celebrate his magnificence?
I’m going to raise a glass.
To Dennis… I’ll grab some cash at the ATM for you and meet you at the bar.
This process is highly experiential…
Those of you who know me already know I have a slight issue with the whole SNAG (Sensitive New-Age Guy) thing. But this is taking it a bit too far:
I mean really, who writes this with a straight face? For even more on The Integral Warrior/Priest Process visit goddessontheloose.com…
They’re much more useful now
Prize Winning…
My soul rises up
Leaves my mortal husk below
