Some Rothenberg Action

Part two of the Cream City interview with Jerome Rothenberg:

I don’t know if that’s true or not, and I suspect that it’s self-defeating or a trap set up by others. I think Jackson [Mac Low], for example, since we mentioned him before, has led a very honorable life as a poet, and that when some good fortune comes to him at the age of seventy-five, [laughs] and some hundred-thousand dollar award is dropped on him … well!
