just bought a replacement copy of William Carlos Williams' collected poems and discovered this on the back cover of Volume 2:
"And when the second and final volume of Williams' 'Collected Poems' is published, it should become even more apparent that he is this century's major American poet." - Larry Kart, Chicago Tribune
Yes. Still true 14 years into the 21st century, too.

finally read Dream of Fair to Middling Women - 25-year-old Beckett with lot of very Joyceish jesting and more jesting rather like Beckett got to later in Watt and the 2 great plays. It's a sort of autobiographical novel about the loutish Belacqua (Beckett's alias) and his lady loves, whom he describes savagely. Light, mostly fun, concluding with a hilarious dinner party scene. Great, masterful writing.

Damn. 'Twould be a shame for Paramounts to be available only in gigantic expensive boxes. Surely Off The Record got Lars' group's permission to reissue the Paramount Olivers.
And while that grand Ayler box led me to admire Revenant, I don't know what to make of this. Except that the Fantasy fiasco has led to a dread of movie stars buying jazz record companies.

Abbado used to be a favorite here in Chicago in the 1980s when he conducted the symphony a few weeks each year.
