CANTO 1 Hung-up and dried

traditional print
on-line publication
on-line performance:	Chamber Rock Ensemble session April 2000 at 59th Street Studio, Milwaukee

Canto 1 is tremendously rich in association, filled with movement and energy. It’s a virtual orgy of sound and image, while still remaining grounded in the scene. Actually, I’m envious of what you were able to do here. Where Canto 1 talked to Dante, Canto 4 talks to Pound with maybe a sidebar to Charles Olson. And it gives a touch of Herbert and again, an echo of Dylan. Wonderful stuff.

—Joseph Lisowski, Ph.D.

Chachalaca Marty Lewis' rejection

response 5/26/99 handwritten: "'Canto 1' I think there's only an outside chance for this one--not because of the craftsmanship but because of the heavy use of academic allusion. The editorial board is a bit biased against academia but perhaps the irony of the poem's beginning and my own persuasive power and the other strengths of the poem will carry the day." --Marty
