having schizophrenia is a big secret.
because of that stigma attached to this disease,
his or her career will be over once it is exposed.
But here's an article I wrote that at least makes me a local journalist
while I wait to become a Supreme Court judge. Oh and if you believe that
you'll believe John Nash takes LSD ever morning.

Begin review: Published in the Centretown buzz, March 2002.
Centretown poets go global. Come back local with book about trees.
Four Centretown Citizens of Ottawa Corporation tenants have been very busy
on the Internet. Lee Murray who once nominated me for the board of directors
of the National Capital FreeNet has collected a book of poems about trees. I
found about his literary project in my usual Internet surfing. Seeing that
the project, a book about trees would be appropriate for my partners' poems,
I send her tree poems to Lee via e-mail.
The book is called A Tree is My Friend. The four poems I sent by Jennifer
Arbour are included. While this is the information age, with information in
small tid bits, and its inherent numerical qualities, this book is a
traditional book of poems and writings.
But perhaps standard for modern art works, the book is written by a larger
collective of living and dead writers not one person. Standard also, that
these days books are made from authors e-mails sent from all corners of the
world. While Lee, Meredith, Jennifer and myself are all CCOC tenants
involved in the book, and four others Lauren Foster-Mcleod, David Collins,
Peter Hodgins Sr., and Catherine Roxanne Larabie, live in Ottawa, and are
also members of the NCF, other writers in the collection are from other
parts of the world.
The Internet was used in the most part to collect the poems, says Lee. Lee
wonders where this leaves the idea of Canadian publishing funded by Canadian
content rules.
The book is innocent and focuses deeply on trees. There are photos of trees
and tree fashions displayed.
More and more people are writing these days. And more and more people are
being published.
I was just published in collection of sci-fi stories. This book again was
organised on the Internet from the four corners of the world. The book, the
Alt.Cyberpunk.Chatsubo Anthology, is titled after a Usenet newsgroup name.
It was a famous '50's Anti Psychiatrist who once wrote in his book that he
had not written that book. His paradoxical statement included mention that
in the future more and more works of art would be written not by one person
but by many. It seems to me that this is becoming more and more true. So is
the ego of the artist gone and the community ego grown in its place? One
would hope so. I guess with population pressures we are forced to work
together even as we destroy trees by the same pressure. But A Tree is My
Friend hopes to save trees by donating the profits to tree sitters.
I hope you read this book. It can be found on line at www.ncf.ca/~bh295, Lee
's web site. You can also buy it at Collected Works on Wellington street. It
is also in the public library. My book with its own web site
www.accanthology.com is available from www.iuniverse.com and other on-line
book stores.

Jesus Christ was one - but of course he isn't alive anymore.

genious and sz are linked.
