Comments and Reviews

ppint. 12th Nov 2018		"do-it-yourself" written with joe l. hensley: acknowledged in indica, but not mentioned on contents page. dedication: "this random group of leftover dreams and wry conspiracies i offer to wednesday's child . . . kenny with love and pride, and more than a touch of sorrow. fourteen years later, and links of the broken chain have been joined once more, not welded shut, but merely joined. and so, with fourteen years' more love and pride, and with that touch of sorrow removed, once again i offer this ragbag of illusions to his own man . . . kenny" (overflow from notes: section)
