Can't do too much reading at the moment, preparing myself for the onslaught as the next Lummox rolls into view and the call for submissions goes into effect on the first. So for now, I can listen to the Buk do his thing and as I do so a couple of things pop into my head: 1) he could hardly stand to face the day without his 'liquid courage' and yet I face each day down, sober. It takes guts to do battle with one's demons, hell, with everybody else's demons too and still not be lured into the easy trap of booze. <br /><br />2) Buk talks about the blood money he makes from poetry, tho I'm not sure how true this is. At the apex of his career, when he could stop doing readings, he was making at least $500 (sometimes $1000) per. Not exactly chump change, yet he implies that what he does to raise the rent money is those damned poetry readings. Ha! <br /><br />When I give a reading and I expect to sell $100 worth of books, if it doesn't work out that way, it's because I haven't done my job very well. It's not because it's some kind of embarrassment that at the age of 64 I still have to do this demeaning job (of course one can argue that it's demeaning to have to work at this age - but that's also my fault...long story). Most of the Lummox readers don't have a clue as to what goes into putting out this book or what the daily money shuffle is like.<br /><br />I'm gonna stop now because this sounds like a whine and that was not my intention.<br /><br />Take care, Ed.<br />rdRD Armstrongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24849082.post-33977641359593585722015-03-14T18:11:19.092-07:002015-03-14T18:11:19.092-07:00thank you, Ed.
