I think his last book, Breath (with the wonderful photo of Don Cherry on the cover), was quite good, and had quite a string of strong books in the 90's (What Work Is, The Simple Truth, The Mercy).

It also makes me promise that the NEXT project will be about poetry. (The status of that NEXT is, of course, the problem--next after what?)<BR/><BR/>KeguroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
