Children are more important than books
Don Denton has an interesting interview up with Tim Bowling. I find Bowling is over-prolific and consequently the quality of his poetry is wildly uneven, but at his best he's in the front rank of contemporary poets in this country, for sure. I also have a lot of respect for his values and the way he practices them. It takes no small amount of discipline to lead the kind of life he lives.

Thanks for the link, Zach. Enjoyed the interview.
I recently reviewed his novel The Bone Sharps for Legacy, an Edmonton-based arts mag. It was a great book, filled with uncountable great lines. He has a three page long sentence that is neither boring nor gimmicky. I recommend it.
And I agree with you--when he's on, he's a damn fine writer.
