I wikified and added new information to the four poets you added to the list I am looking after. I had forgotten about Billings and we should not, I guess. Regrets. I have the last remaining copies of his first book, blue negatives if you want a copy go to my bookstore and contact me [1] WayneRay 20:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)WayneRayReply


Thank you for letting me know, WayneRay, about "Blue Negatives". If it turns our that I need a copy, perhaps you can tell me the cost? Regarding the details of R.B.'s suicide, I did prefer my original and softer version for the brief biog. I have added Robert's death to the wiki List of suicides and wonder if such a list of Canadian writers might be in order? Cheers.

Yes it might be better it's just the image of not being found for several months has stayed in my mind since I found it out. Change it if you like. The suicide list is ok, perhaps by country would be better but it is already too long. It would be a matter of creating a new article with a direct link to the original and removing the Canadians, like Billings and Jones. Oh $10 would include mailing WayneRay 13:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC)WayneRayReply
