Indians and poetry at the Needle Exchange Convention in Albuquerque NM

There is a strong Indian presence here at the Needle Exchange Convention.  This 
includes people from Albuquerque (where there is also a very large gathering of 
Indians of different tribes a few miles away this week) and Montana.  Not near 
where you live, tho, Hunter.

At the conference banquet every year, I read poetry.  This year, I included 
some of my poems on post-9/11 themes.  They combined the personal and the 
political, and are pretty hard-hitting politically.  Some folks seemed a little 
put out, but about a third of the audience gave a standing ovation at the end.  
I was personally very moved, of course; but I also think that it is a very good 
sign about the way some convergence is occurring among formerly disparate 
movements.

(I can send the 4 poems [AIDS, from then 'til now; Instant Connection; There is 
No Nation; and Holy NASEC) to any of you who want me to)

best to all,
sam
