1. One book that changed your life
Picasso by Gertrude Stein

The Maximus Poems by Charles Olson


4. One book that made you laugh
The Naked Civil Servant by Quentin Crisp

5. One book that made you cry
Pass

6. One book you wish had been written
Tonnes. Probably a good study of the New British Poetry post-war including J.H. Prynne, Andrew Crozier and others.
I would also like Jackson MacLowe's French Sonnets back in print, and somebody to collect in one volume and put out the Susan Howe chapbooks that are long out of circulation.

7. One book you wish had never had been written
None, that is brutal Nazi mentality. Keep all books because all are precious..... man.

8. One book you are currently reading
The Book of Images by Rilke

9. One book you have been meaning to read
Ways of Seeing by John Berger.
