It...In this case, Harry's poetry is BEST forgotten. It is awful. He was apparently always sweet, always drunk, and nearly always full of shit. He signed his poems with a seagull feather. Wore a cape, and orated. He was a great character, but his poems are nearly unreadable.<BR/>His shack is still standing out at Peaked Hill and is never locked. Some of his stuff is still there.<BR/>I read through all his poems at the Provincetown Library years ago, searching for something I could quote in my prose book. I found one successful poem:<BR/><BR/>I Have Found Out<BR/><BR/>I have found out in love a little flattery<BR/>Turns out much better than assault and battery.LoveandSalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17478315049561533485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-1146790695641019562006-05-04T20:58:00.000-04:002006-05-04T20:58:00.000-04:00i remember being in the IU library once--is it the...i remember being in the IU library once--is it the 9th floor?--you know, where ALL the poetry is and it was totally depressing.
