Explained Against My Better Instincts
Poetry in an Unexpected Place
I inscribe myself as LCMT, and will answer readily to Lin, if that's your preference. I function as the owner, operator and general dogsbody of the Intaglio Galosh Press—which, it should be explained, has neither intaglios nor presses, nor even a lone galosh. I am a woolgatherer, a dawdler, an ignoramus and an omnivore. I am legged, but not bow-legged, and generally I consider myself less saline than most people, but that could be a misapprehension on my part. I am nine inches long, from the inside of my elbow to the inside of my wrist. I am a deficient typist. My favorite shirts are soft, raggedy, 100% cotton and long-sleeved. My favorite shoes are cotton oxfords—I grew up in Keds, after all—and I wear them out until their soles crack. If you have a question about anything, feel free to use the comments or e-mail, or you can leave a note in the Cactus Book. All contents of this journal, except otherwise noted, are copyrighted by LCMT.
