We haven't seen each other in three years. We came of age in the late sixties. We're impressed with young people today. They face very different problems than we did in the sixties. The AOL dispute seemed odd to us, like an echo from the old days.
Repression still occurs, but it is no longer the central problem in modern industrial societies.
We just don't agree with the attacks on young people by baby-boomers. We understand why they are made, but we don't agree. We are very optimistic about today's young people. I've written almost everything on Open Tradition, but we're just announcing the magazine now and seeking outside submissions. We both knew poets and artists whose work we wanted, so many of the first things we put up were solicited.
