I don't actually want you to post this comment on your blog.<BR/><BR/>You might have misunderstood my comment on my blog requesting an email from you. I don't mean to discuss the original post or other issues regarding it. I think we can come to a solution - to do with the original post and comments - that will be acceptable to you and to me. Send an email to me mackenzie-ra@yahoo.co.uk and you'll see what I mean.

It's so easy to get the wrong end of the stick, it's always better to clarify if there's doubt. <BR/><BR/>I once wrote, as the final stanza in the sequence, 'psychological kick boxer' the following:<BR/><BR/>you've got it all wrong, she says<BR/>just like you - always grasping<BR/>the wrong end of the stick<BR/>when all I'm trying to do<BR/>is beat you with it<BR/><BR/>And let's hope - for all our sakes that MS is not representative of any poetry scene in Scotland.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again. I appreciate you taking time to comment.<BR/><BR/>MagiMagi Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021067120365599011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24838881.post-82116363837296260332008-03-23T06:32:00.000-07:002008-03-23T06:32:00.000-07:00Hi Magi,I was being grimly ironic ... perhaps inap...Hi Magi,<BR/><BR/>I was being grimly ironic ... perhaps inappropriately so, given the nature of some of the posts -- my apologies.<BR/><BR/>I agree that the MS post was awful, and reflects badly on their character only, not on yours. I also don't imagine they are representative of any scene, and wouldn't credit them with any significance in the wider scheme of things.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24838881.post-32024145062226882962008-03-23T01:54:00.000-07:002008-03-23T01:54:00.000-07:00This poem has been in so many anthologies but I ne...This poem has been in so many anthologies but I never get tired of reading it again. It has some great lines and such a feeling of power. She can write as many cookbooks and bad poems as she likes - to have written one as powerful as this is what really matters.Rachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.com
