Sample article at SubStack, "With Erika and Unit 8200 in Vũng Tàu."

An email, just sent, to a Portuguese academic:

 

Hi Joao,

Many thanks for your interest in having a discussion with me. I am neither left nor right, however, but against all lies and forms of tyranny, and I've always strived to say exactly what I think. In this, I must be the most radical of American poets, which isn't saying much, since they're all colluders and careerists, even those not receiving paychecks from a university.

Self identified as "leftists," American poets have sided with Big Pharma, Big Government and, now, most sickeningly, they're pretending to "side with Ukraine," which means more weapons to destroy that sacrificed nation.

In 2018, I left the thoroughly evil USA and have been bouncing around Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. I am currently in Laos.

You can get a better idea of my thinking by reading these three articles, all written this month:

https://linhdinh.substack.com/p/against-genocides-always
https://linhdinh.substack.com/p/best-forgotten-by-the-mekong

After my Postcards book, I've published hundreds of articles online. If you still think we should talk, I'm willing. Though men may disagree, they should have frank conversations in good faith. This absence is destroying many societies.

Linh

as we said in the sixties: right on. i fully agree with your points and similar ones throughout your writing. if i could leave and pursue similar travels outside of the criminal empire i'd do the same. age, marriage and lack of money prevent it. so it goes. keep it up as long as you can would be my vote if we were voting.
