For you Hitchhiker's Guide fans...
I just realized that Franz Wright is Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged.
In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, Wowbagger was an immortal being who couldn't handle his immortality and decided his mission was to travel the universe until he had personally insulted every creature in it.
Hey, at least I didn't compare Mr. Wright's poetry to a Vogon's.
"Oh freddled gruntbuggly thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee."

hey Steven,
Don't know how, but I found your blog on the web. I actually heard Franz Wright read his poetry in Cambridge, Mass., years ago.
I hope he's come to terms with his father issues. A lot of his poetry was about his dad. There was one in particular that was quite poignant.
You may enjoy visiting my blog. It's about food, poetry and politics.
I'll do more surfing on your blog to see if you've posted any of your own poetry.
Nice to meet a fellow writer.

It seems like Mr. Wright isn't over whatever issues he has.
David:
Wowbagger did insult Arthur Dent twice. Maybe Franz Wright thinks everyone is Arthur Dent.
