It's charcoal, and was in Al's papers. Yes? We were looking at it on the weekend, then this morning Eurithe called and said, you know that blog you printed, well I think it refers to the charcoal.<br /><br />Please respond to jeanbaird@shaw.caJean Bairdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413308198974932470.post-67996692624081289622010-04-11T13:39:23.128-04:002010-04-11T13:39:23.128-04:00@Brite: Your comments keep me posting when I feel ...@Brite: Your comments keep me posting when I feel it is a silly narcissism.<br /><br />@jean baird: I am ecstatic to know that Eurithe will see this.idleprimatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287702981119643646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413308198974932470.post-16951832631596165562010-04-09T13:59:54.905-04:002010-04-09T13:59:54.905-04:00I am off to see Eurithe Purdy in a week or so.

But you aren't the only one who regrets never taking Al up on an invitation. Check out The Al Purdy A-frame Anthology, out with Harbour. The A-frame was a pilgrimage for many poets over the years.<br /><br />Oh, and thanks for this grand storyJean Bairdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413308198974932470.post-80333382390908635582010-04-09T01:03:56.011-04:002010-04-09T01:03:56.011-04:00Oh Ape...I am so thrilled that you had such a pers...Oh Ape...I am so thrilled that you had such a personal experience with the great Al Purdy. My mother was an unabashed 'fan' and one of her best memories was the day her and Al drank themselves into some kind of poetic stupor. Also, I love "Piss Cat".<br />For the record, what YOU write never fails to pique my interest and get me thinking about all kinds of things.So I guess I'm one of your 'fans'!britehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04814072505496996061noreply@blogger.com
