mountain of skulls: In the dubthabs ("means or method of success") rites of Tibetan Buddhism, there is one that concerns the preparation of the nangchöd, in which a human skull cut in goblet form is envisioned. Then five kinds of meat, "each symbolized by a syllable and coming from the different cardinal points, enter into the skull...The centre supplies human flesh. From intermediate points, such as the north-east, etc., come the impure products of the body: blood, urine, etc." Finally, "the meats and other substances that are in the skull" are boiled into a liquid and "drunk." This is called the "potion of immortality," or "the Elixer of Knowledge which bestows enlightenment." (David-Neel, 1959).

Carmen Scholis: "Translating a selection of poems from the Spanish poet, Antonio Machado, with Carmen Scholis, who did the hardest part of the job, had a profound effect on my own life and composing.

Judson Crews: Living a few blocks from my apartment in Albuquerque, Crews is one of those talented poets whom official critical circles ignore, but whose life has been located at the matrix of American literary history. He has published voluminously in small press editions, many at his own expense. His autobiography, boxes of it, to this day remains unfinished. Pieces of his archival treasure are buried in libraries at the University of Texas, Yale University, and the University of New Mexico.

"As soon as (Judson) Crews was demobilized (from the Army, after W.W.II), he made his way to Big Sur to look up Henry Miller), and he stayed at Emil's (White) place on the highway...He subsisted on wild mustard greens and peanut butter, a diet that so horrified Henry that he offered to buy him some groceries. Crews refused Henry's help..." (Winslow, 1986).
