OMG RD Lang,

I haven't heard about him in ages. I have wondered if his work with schizophrenics is what eventually contributed to so many being turned out of the programs they so desperately needed.

But we are talking poetry here and knots tangles and whirligogs

TY! Yes, well I suspect, if his work had been understood for what it was, our psyche healthcare in the US, at least, would be far less F-Upped;-)

Appreciate the comments.
