Basically, Bill puts the poets up on the poets' page. No reason to go there unless you want to read some. We're taking our stand, though it may not seem that way. Bill is particularly concerned with the commercialization, consumerization of society and mind, of the psyche itself. Everything is becoming a technique.

It's like the sexual freedom we fought for in the sixties and seventies. And there are problems, immaturities and so forth. We enjoy the fact that the Locus reflects this diversity, and we doubly enjoy the fact that we didn't have to do anything artificial to achieve it. Human beings need to make a quantum jump into a better world. We don't know how to do it, but if we don't, we'll see a collapse back into fundamentalism, literalism and the rest.
