Blaser continues to be an astonishment (a word he used often to describe his life as a continual encounter with astonishmeint, or, rather, a continual astonishment. I discoverd Blaser late in my own life (but right on time for me) and a year or so after his death. I easily confess that I would have hated Blaser as a young man then not lived enough and educated enough and mused enough to comprehend what he and his compadres Robert Duncan and Jack Spicer (to name 2 of the triumverate that Blaser was a part of) , great poets in their own write...Now, aging, psyche and body like a ravished lover and landscape, I cannot get enough of Blaser. Fortunately there are many recordings of him reading his poems as well as rich rich lectures and workshops given in his erudite, whimsical, charming way...I bow to Blaser and know him as one of my Divine Companions.
