I did try my hand at a few short stories a la Bukowski. Trying to remember poetry-wise. I think I tried some Eliot and e.e. cummings. I just wanted to live in 1920s London and Paris :-)Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83528601653366510.post-26759408573778526052011-07-13T20:16:45.976-04:002011-07-13T20:16:45.976-04:00Deniz, thanks.
