He lives not the life of the mind but the life of the line. With Chinatown TV in his basic cable package and Eastern art books at the library (not to mention anime DVD's), there is enough "local" stuff to keep him grounded. The Intanet, of course, and online literary journals like Cha (Google bless 'em) give him a voice he might otherwise not have. Most of his published work is a binding, an image from the East is the presence he makes perfect. [Poetry]
