I recently read that Brautigan's last manuscipt had small pieces of his brain matter stuck to the paper which got there after he blew his brains out, and today after I had written a poem, I had an insight into the mind of Brautigan. It made me cry. Brautigan was a poet who wrote tender, funny, light poetry which I always thought had something underneath it which was deep and profound. I found out that a poet like Bruatigan or me had a deep despair, anguish, depression, suffering, and pain which lay underneath this light, funny poetry. When he died, I bought as many books by him as I could find and laid them on a table and lit a candle.
