GC: Mencken is also a favorite of mine. I hadn't heard the above before. " Building
on your interest in the real Lincoln--and mine--would you like to try a joint
article?
JS: Yes! I think we could work very well off each
other. Northerner and Southerner.
GC: I'm not a Southerner! I was born and raised in New York City, and
have lived and traveled in 30 countries and 40 states. I just happen to have lived in Georgia and
Florida for about half of my life! I
consider myself an Earth-man!
JS: Most of all, we are true
artists/writers--which means we were born with an insatiable love of the truth,
and our lives, if we examinie them, have been a search for Truth. I would love
to work in "When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloomed" (I never did
like Walt Whitman; I found him tedious)" and "O Captain, My Captain"
GC: We would disagree on Whitman's
"Lilacs," (and a little on "O Captain"). Whitman was a great poet... but, alas, no
great shakes as a political thinker. (They rarely come together!) We could
"talk" more about that in the article.
I think a dialogic style is not used
enuf (or at all?) in contemporary writing. " There's lots of potential in the
format. And the Internet opens the possibilities exponentially!
BTW, Janis, who the hell are you?
JS:
I spent
most of my life perfecting my art as a painter. After my son, Damon was killed
by a self-styled Rambo, my life was changed forever.
