Bad Walter Spins or Dark Matters

by Jim Whelden

“Jim Whelden and his wife Beatrice have sat down in the midst of the turmoil of New Jerey poetry, which at the moment is like a burnt-over pine forest with newly fire-invigorated seeds popping everywhere. Beatrice is telling Jim poets have to perform if they want an audience. Indeed, it appears that in a few years the poets who don't 'say' their verse eyeball to eyeball with the audience are going to be in a bad way for dates. “

“Jim has been writing for years. He has always expected a compatible reader to vibrate with the feelings and music and rhythms Jim vibrated with putting the words to paper. Poetry is little more than the direct communication one to one of such phenomena, and it is nothing less.”
