[Penny Padgett]

Hi all,

David Casseres flatters:

>Penny Padgett for Librarian of Congress, natch ...

Oh, no, no, no.  Save that one for the workin' librarians like Chris
the K. or Richard R.

>... and now for the hard one: Poet Laureate.  Any nominations?  

As long as we're talking about Padgetts, how about my cousin Ron
Padgett?  I think his verse is pretty fine, and while perhaps not 
strictly Pynchonian it is dry, funny, intelligent and unpretentious.
Any of you NYers ever hear him read?  

Penny
