hi. "bowerbird" is my poetry name, if you're wondering. as i am a poet, i consider it my job to tell the truth. and sometimes, it's unavoidable that the truth hurts... but i don't intend to hurt unnecessarily, or unfairly. so do please feel free to e-mail me, or even to call me -- at 310.980.9202 -- if you think i broke that pledge. if you find yourself in santa monica, i'll buy the beer.
