JLSeing the unusually aware & sensitive beings that you are, you may have noticed within the past 4 issues of Kaleidoscope a reinstatment of the infamous K1 Scope Poetry Page. No, don't "oh goodie" me, smart ass; because the rules of the game have been changed and from now on you're going to owe us more than that. From the beginning of my role as poetry editor, the poetry page was given the status of a public relations serial. It's purpose was to add what is commonly known as "kulture" to our paper, as well as the security of a regular feature, (security is the feeling one gets from knowing they will always be able to read "Mr. Tweedy" in the Journal) Needless to say, this is a very awkward approach to the spiritual Saf""*" powers of one's existence. It wasn't long before I found myself being maneuvered by such enticing demands as: "Why don't cha use more local poetry;" or "How 'bout a 2-page special of sex poetry." Eventually, it reached the point where you could always be sure to get a laugh at a staff party by belittling the latest poetry page. After two years of pumpin' poetry pages for a living, I saw the shallow betrayal I had committed, and quit. Then why has the poetry page suddenly reappeared, you ask; what could this mean? It means this: two people, Geoff Wietor & myself, have redefined the role Kaleidoscope plays in relation to our sensitivities, and are acting accordingly. In other words, there will not be a regular weekly poetry page because the quality of poetry that touches us is not written on a weekly schedule. It would be nice if we could tell you the "type" of poetry which merits pub­ lication, but, as you all know, "Works of Art are of an infinite loneliness" (Rilke) and cannot be bothered by limits or labels/ However, we can tell you what we don't want to see and perhaps save future submitters the cost of postage:

D on't bother sending in one-dimensional crap which tells of how terrible you feel about the war in Vietnam, never acknowledging the existence of total & real human personalities created and destroyed there. The only poetry that would excite us at this point would have to be written by the Vietcong. s$ ^.wr irr^^f > Please do hot send us your lists of infantile images (usually held together under the profound title: "UNTITLED") which are meaningless to everyone but you because you're into quote Surrealism unquote and spent 15 minutes at the last poetry reading explaining what the poem "means." Mm You are also allowed to keep all those 4 to 6 line definitions of "Love," "Life," "Death," "Infinity," etc., which were inspired three days before a poetry reading in which you thought it would be neat to get up on stage & finger the microphone. And last, but not [east, throw away all the junk that supposedly defines Poetry SsaC**'. (i.e. "Poetry is death," "Poetry is shit on a shingle," etc.). We advise you to throw these things away quickly because you have oh-so-cleverly reduced the most exciting power of the universe to a 3-line jingle which came to you while getting ;UJI into your pajamas. Believe us, this should not be taken lightly. We are convinced that the creative forces of Spirit which the poet encounters while writing can, and will, unleash itself against those who abuse, mock, or belittle it. You are no longer entertaining a small circle of patronizing friends; so if you can't comprehend or sense the Energy of creation involved in writing poems, find something else to do.

JLhis statment will appear condescending to some people, and even offensive to a few others. We're glad about that because these are the same handful of half- informed turds who think poetry is cute or clever, academic or simplistic. Hence­ forth, we will not acknowledge the sophomoric existence of this audience. We will not cater to the suggestions or demands of the unenlightened, whether they be staff members or otherwise. We will not be ruled by deadlines, protocol, necessity, gimmicks, or common courtesy. We are not interested in hearing your opinions on what we are doing. And we are not concerned with what :JLil appears in the rest of Kaleidoscope. The Poetry in Kaleidoscope will grow out of its own magic and the masters who wrote them, to be born & re-born with each new page; and when the import­ ance of what we are doing is taken from us, we will leave again. Only this time, you lose. '$M?
