How grand that you’re teaching it. I'd love to hear more about what Alexander's poetry inspires in those reading or hearing it for the first time. I highly recommend Alexander’s just published <i>The Sri Lankan Loxodrome</i> (New Directions). It’s a singularly fantastic jolt of his poetry, particularly the title poem. If I may, permit me here to mention that in late September I wrote a bit about <i>The Sri Lankan Loxodrome</i>, including quoting from Haryette Mullen’s <i>Callaloo</i> comment about Alexander’s “hyperhypotactic” approach (the Mullen quotation is also used as a blurb on the back cover of the new book). For those who may be interested, my post on Alexander’s wondrous book/poem is <a href='http://URL' rel="nofollow">here</a>http://stevenfama.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post.html.
