“If I'm very drunk, I can improvise. But generally speaking, no. Generally speaking, almost all of my work is material that was first done on the printed page. And the shorter ones that you might call poems, I had a stretch from '79, '80, for five or six years, where I wrote a lot of poetry as such. Simply because I was asked to.” IfsYearsFirstsI CanDoneMightFiveMaterialsSixPagesDrunkPrinted Author:Richard Meltzer
“Basically, I've reached the point where I've lost any direct relationship to any of the editors I used to have. I suspect I'll have to pay to publish this myself, and I think a lot about about putting out fifty copies. I used to think about hogwash like my legacy and silly things like that. But I feel like if I never have another book out, I've done okay, I've had like twelve or thirteen little books, and I won't be upset about this on my death bed.” IfsThinkingFeelsLittlesBookDoneUsedLostPayBedDirectOkaySillyLegacyUpsetFiftySuspectsCopiesEditorsTwelvePublishThirteenSilly ThingsDeath BedHogwash Author:Richard Meltzer
