Hi Major,
One quick correction: Bob Kaufman and I are both born on April 18th. Interesting list and interesting pairings…

Ooops! My comment was intended for Kenny’s Charles Bernstein-as-lyric-imposter post.
Your post I definitely believe and would like to take it to the astrologer/Tarot reading shop next to Vesuvio’s Bar next to City Lights Books on Columbus in SF. What would he/she make of it? Or the Neoplatonists: :
“Prominent Neoplatonists such as Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus found some aspects of astrology compatible with their versions of Neoplatonic philosophy. The cultural importance of astrology is attested to by the strong reactions to and involvement with astrology by various philosophers in late antiquity. The adaptability of astrology to various philosophical schools as well as the borrowing on the part of astrologers from diverse philosophies provides dynamic examples of the rich ‘electicism’ or ‘syncretism’ that characterized the Hellenistic world.”

I don’t believe a W-O-R-D of it!
