I knew asking the question it was probably one Koch had answered many times but I couldn't think of anything of the boy-I've-never-heard-that-one sort. Still, he was human. That's OK, too.<BR/><BR/>I remember reading the account on the web of an audience member at a Sherman Alexie reading. The audience member was offended by Alexie's flippant answer of (her?) question. She felt he owed her a respectful response. I don't think he owed her anything. A respectful response is nice, but ... <BR/><BR/>I guess I want to be forgiven for my cranky pants days, too.Glenn Ingersollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674475308395975995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11088833.post-1114110151311053622005-04-21T12:02:00.000-07:002005-04-21T12:02:00.000-07:00I'm not familiar with Koch's work, Glenn.

I just googled him and found this tribute to him by <A HREF="http://jacketmagazine.com/15/koch-creeley.html" REL="nofollow">Robert Creeley</A> which seemed apt (actually, the link I just provided is from a 2002 issue of <I>Jacket</I>, a Koch tribue issue) especially after reading "Patrizia" and seeing the same strange linebreaks in it that Creeley used in "I Know a Man."<BR/><BR/>So, Koch really said that? I can't think of anything more discouraging than someone whom you admire giving such a ...dismissive...?...reply to your question. I placed a question mark after dismissive because I'm not quite sure how you felt in reponse to his reponse.LKDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171027823523187126noreply@blogger.com
