[New-Poetry] Re: Li-Young Lee packs 'em in

[James Cervantes]

Just reading the name/term "Lux Interior" was like lighting a sparkler
and I should have ridden one of the little comets and written a poem.
None of the little lights had anything to do with a punk group or
particular persona.  Now "Lux Interior" is tainted, so to speak.  Can
it be cleansed?
