Hi ya'll,

Since everyone seems to be in the intro mode, I would also like to add to the general hullabaloo. I read quite a bit, atleast as much as that curly marsh of delta and sigmas(Ref: Golden Gate - V.Seth) that waxes and wanes(my engineering PhD) allows me to.

Currently I am reading (mostly) non fiction(Ian Buruma's Bad Elements, Wendell Berry's Art of Commonplace) and poetry( Yehuda Amichai's collected poems). I also write poetry and hobnob with a poet(Thomas Lux) getting critical appriasal and resisting his suggestions to attend a writer's workshop. So I would be intrested adding my two bits, if the occasion arises, to discussions on poetry and getting to hear from the lit pros.

Also since the topic: "the writing process" has been mentioned, I was wondering if that would include scrutiny to the end result or exposition of general "fundaes" on how to write?

Joy! Sashi
