To be fair to Wally, when he's not making a fool of himself babbling about his 
(non-existent) poetic creativity, his posts usually contain useful information,

1) For someone who doesn't know the width of a monitor (press enter/return
before the right margin runs out, eh?) to lecture this group about the 
Internet (actually, it's USENET mister, which is not quite the same, anyway) 
betrays your stupidity.
2) Petofi was a poet, as well as a patriot, as were others from Hungary,

In the categyuri of Sumptuous Septic Presumptuousness, not only does blurry
Penury Gyuri rattle on about spelling, but about putting together "existing
words." Yet even in the pedestrian art of prose, KoVACUOUS has demonstrated
that he is unable to spell "existing words", let alone assemble them
properly, so he is in no credible position to be able to publicly declare
what is or is not the richer art of poetry.

I don't lend my voice to other people's political slogans/agendas (I'm
a free thinker), so I prefer my own agenda, viz: To bring about not only
a politico-economic renaissance, but also unprecedented cultural fusion,
that will lead to a strong united Europe. Such an enlightened community
will not need to fear anything and will be an example to the rest of the
world just how to evolve.

Alas, Walking On The Greenhouse Roof, was published with the help of two at
McGill University in Montreal. [Still, it's as Canadian as a wallet stuffed
with life insurance policies.] The Introduction to the book was written by
Dr. Alec Lucas; he was the head of the English Department at McGill. He was
tweedish. Here's the Introduction:

I sat reading the Cobourg Sentinel-Star one afternoon during a visit to my
parents in Bomanville some three years ago. My mother said, "Be sure not to
miss Wally Keeler's poem. He's the young grandson of a former neighbour,
you know." I looked it up, expecting I don't know what precisely, perhaps
something like the old high school poetry,

     I hear the moaning autumn wind
     Acxross the lonely meadows sere;
     It hints that, too, I'll wake to find
     That love's, like summer, gone, I fear;

or something of social protest akin to

     "I'll reap the harvest
     Of all Viet nam
     Of rice (and every living man),"
     Cried death,
     The voice of Uncle Sam;

or again, some cryptic verse like,

     Red eggs
               crow petals
     of
       passionate promise in the psychedelic dawn.
     The astronauted moon is shattered,
     Smashed windowpaned onion. 

So much for conjecture! Instead, I came across a lyric poem that took me
completely by surprise. Rightly or wrongly (I know now wrongly), and
without considering the matter carefully, I had also assumed there could
hardly be any new nature images in poetry, that the Romantics and Neo-
Romantics had mined out the vein. But here in a poem by a boy of sixteen
were images as fresh as spring leaves -- new, vital, and promising of his
future work -- creating a world where the forests become "Emerald blankets
curving on the hills," beyond the lake, where "Suntanned pebbles crush
beneath me," and an inflowing stream "tumbles upon itself, / shifting its
silt in shallow shoves." Despite the fact that the poem was frequently
clumsy, it did reveal, also, the writer knew how poetry works.

Without pressing the analogy of the cause, I admit that I was as excited as
when I first read *The Return of the Native* and *The Mill on the Floss.*
The latter book had so stirred me in fact that I had simply to talk to
someone about it, and I remember phoning an "unfortunate" friend at three
in the morning to share my pleasure with him. Although I believed that I
saw genuine and extraordinary talent in this young boy's work, I reacted
differently, however, from my earlier experience. This time I phoned no
one. I immediately drove the thirty miles to Cobourg in hopes that I might
find this young writer, and went at once to the library. "Yes," the
librarian said, "We certainly do know Wally Keeler. He's read almost every
book we've got." This sounded encouraging. 

Although I could scarcely believe that "Why Not I?" was the work of a one-
effort poet, I felt reassured now that it was not, and, getting directions,
set out for the boy's home. Further inquiry of a pedestrian gave me to
believe I was indeed on the right road if I were looking for a young man
who was a "bit crackers. He writes poetry, you know." I admitted that this
must certainly be he, and knocking at the house door, found myself face to
face with a lad who had long hair and bare feet and certainly did write
poetry. Half-expecting that he would produce a handful of lucubrations with
explanations of his failure to write more, I asked whether he had other
poems. "Yes," he replied, "I have some others." and herewith placed in my
hands a great sheaf of manuscript of literally hundreds of poems that I was
eventually to carry off to read and later to discuss with Louis Dudek and
that was to become the seedbed from which *Walking On The Greenhouse Roof*
was to grow.

Since that time Keeler has continued to write and to improve. He has gained
and is gaining greater control of his imagery and syntax. Yet he is a poet
of achievement as well as of promise. He writes with gusto and sincerity.
His poems are characterized by an intensity that may owe something to the
neo-romanticism of the age, but that owe most, directly to Keeler's own
experiences in life. Gusto and intensity do not of course make art, but
when they are combined, as in his poetry, with an unusual gift for creating
images the results are striking. Even if the form breaks, the impression
that the passionate involvement of the poet is at fault and not an
inability to polish his lines. It is a "fortunate flaw" that manifests the
strength of the poet's imagination, chafing as it does at the restraints
placed upon it by the needs of form. Keeler's is no tame talent to be
shackled without a struggle.

By and large I suppose, Keeler could be called a love poet (although his
work covers a wide range of topics) and an impassioned love poet. On the
one hand, however, he manages to present love as a part of the ideal
without making it namby-pamby or essentially abstract as something to be
analyzed into motives and reactions. On the other hand, he succeeds in
catching its sensuousness without indulging his poetry in the merely
sensual. He sublimates his ardour without dissapating it in naturalistic or
psychological detail or in the vague never-never-land of romanticism.
Neither pernographic nor precious, his poems present human desires as
nonetheless divine for being human.

In addition to the authenticity, the originality of the imagery, and the
frequently moving emotional and spiritual quality of Keeler's poetry, It
has something, also, of the comic that gives it a modern touch.
Occasionally it reveals itself as satire, sometimes as high-spirited and
bawdy-like humour unable to resist the temptation to have fun at the
expense of high seriousness when he writes, "and I roared / defeat in a
blizzard / of bedsheets," and at other times in puckish comment like
"content as a cow's udder." Keeler thus adds a refreshing dimension to his
poetry. His humour is neither flippant nor inconsequential. It is part of
his whole attitude toward life. It is generally good-natured and lets us
know that he recognizes himself for what he is -- a young man alive to
living, celebrating his experiences -- and nothing more. He thus avoids the
lugubrious and self-contemplatory that can become tiresome in lyric verse
and concomitantly keeps his work free from pretentiousness and didacticism.

Perceptive and sensitive as a human being, Keeler is still fully conscious
of the exacting demands placed by the formalistic on the artist, of the
need for pattern in structure and rhythm in movement, of imaginative
insight harmonized by tone and vision through image as substantive and
symbolic detail. Yet, for all that, in writing of *Walking On The
Greenhouse Roof*, I have to fight a tendency to slip into paying tribute to
"untutored genius" and "native wood notes wild," for it is the poet's
naivete that seems to give his work much of its distinction. I use the word
in no pejorative sense, but simply to indicate one of the over-riding
qualities of the verse. If Keeler writes of nature, he writes of it as it
seems primarily to have come to him, and not through the seive of other
nature poets. If he writes of love, he writes of it as a lover and in terms
of all its lights and weathers as he has experienced them and not as a case
history of a stage in the process of maturing. If he writes of man and
swociety, he writes from the challenging perspective of a hippie, straight-
forwardly with a disarming and yet provocative idealism. There is nothing
here, either, of the pellet-like trait often apparent in volumes of slim
verse squeezed out year by year. There is nothing here of a fear of words
and of unduly cautious polishing. There is little here, too, of the
characteristics that mark occasional verse frequently, written as it seems
to reflect some isolated thought or event. Keeler's poetry contains a
vision, a youthful vision but valid and significant nevertheless, which he
catches in fresh diction, original images, and an authentic tone, and which
reaffirms the "eternal verities" as the subject of poetry and presents them
in a telling way in modern fashion.

There are 65 poems in it. Half of them are an embarrassment to me.

Mr. Simon, Mr. Simon... your knowledge of Hungary, Hungarian history, and 
Hungarian national characteristics seem to be rather limited for making 
such a sweeping generalization about the Hungarian language. I suspect 
that besides "Jo regelt [i.e. reggelt], guys" you know nothing else. 
You're probably one of those "wise" and busybody "middle-age-to-elderly" 
Unitarians who dabble into world culture, international politics, etc. 
and take a perfunctory interest in Hungary because unitarianism 
originated in Transsylvania.
And, since you seem to be surfing the "net" you must have noticed by now 
that there are thousands of groups that are wasting trillions of words in 
space on even more useless and inconsequential topics than this news 
group. How come you've compromised your lofty principles and deigned to 
descend to the level of cyberspace gobblers.
Also, no language -per se- is given more confrontational style than 
others. You can confront, argue, debate, press your point, etc. in 
English or Hottentot as well as in Hungarian. But you could be once of 
those people who, once they know a couple phrases in a foreign language, 
declare themselves to be able to "speak" that language. So, you'd be much 
better off if you literally got down breaking bread.
By the way you could look up those sex related binary groups and told 
them that they shouldn't clog up cyberspace with those billions of 
porno-binaries. Now, they could really tell you where to go!
Sincerely, laszlo.

Tying the Balkan Wars (1910-1912) to Hungary, and especially to the 
Hungarian language, is supremely ridiculous. First of all the period for 
the Balkan War is Oct. 1912-May 1913. The protagonists of that war were 
Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Greece. Absolutely no Hungarian interrests 
were involved and even the Austro-Hungarian imperial interrests were not 
direct. So check your history and spread no false rumors. Do you realize 
that you're blaming Hungary for starting that war? It might be true that 
in the outbreak of the First World War (as partner in the 
Austro-Hungarian Empire) Hungary might have played some minimal role. But 
despite the partnership foreign affairs were decided in Vienna and not in 
Budapest). I guess next you'll declare that the late 
Bosnian-Croation-Serbian conflict was due to the confrontational nature 
of the Hungarian language. Little knowledge, Mr. Simon, is damaging and 
even dangerous.
And, since you seem to be surfing the "net" you must have noticed by now

"accesselni" = elerni
"tudom" = ismerek
and many others so I think it's better to not break the language to smaller 
pieces :)

The most common reasons to not be able to access something on the net:

- The net is overloaded (try 4 o'clock in the morning)
- The server is off. (Tell them to turn it on)
- The server limits the access spatially (try to log in in the USA and access 
from there, if you have no account there: nope)
- Your machine cannot convert the machine names to ip-addresses (check the DNS 
configuration and your DNS server)
- Your machine is set up to less "hops" than the number of hops needed to 
reach the machine. ("Hops" is the number of routers between you and the 
server)(Try to reconfigure your machine)
- The server machine is set up to too few "hops". (Try to tell them)

First you can try some easy checks:

- make a "ping" to the servers address. It will show if you had connection.
- make a "traceroute" to see the distance and the path to the server.

No more ideas.

Mr. Keeler, forgive me for leaving off the rest of your long response, 
but...
The bottom line is that I explicitely stated that I do base my 
"imprtessions" on your's and Ms Bali's Internet "manifestations". There 
the majority of your utterances and fragments from your poetry were, to 
my taste -and all such things are subjective- anachronistic, banal and 
bombastic. Anachronistic because the age of Dada is over. This age has 
it's own modernistic spirit and not only I do not have a quarrell with 
it: I love it. "Old-fashioned" modernist in "new-fashioned" modernist 
surrounding do look and sound pathetic. For example every once in a while 
when I revisit the old scenes of my haunts in the "North Beach" part of 
San Francisco (onetime Jack Kerouac, A. Ginsberg, etc. "country") I'd run 
into some old acquaintance not only in the old style hippy garb but 
frozen into the old beat/hippy mindset. The total appearance is of great 
hangdog pathos.
And you, Mr Keeler, with your "cyberspace-appearance" -for that's all I 
know of you, and that's what you can project to you fellow syberspace 
walkers with your dadastyle manifestos, declarations, phraseoly, project 
something out-of-datish, anachronistic.
Evidently you have a cause and a massage (and that's all right to have 
one) and you try to sell it. And I pull for you. But you go about it the 
wrong way. You cannot be taken seriously. Why not compromise a bit? Sure, 
deflate your ago a bit. Make your "Republic" more friendly and inviting.
Most true and productive artists are quiet and modest about their art. 
With them their work is the message. But you build around your minuscule 
output a "manuscule" mansion, even republic, made up of puff-words and 
slogans. So that's what becomes your message. And since your Republic is 
built from puff-words you have to keep frantiqually pumping more puff 
words into it to keep it from deflating. So make poems to be the media of 
your message.
By the way, the poems that you quote here from your volume are good.
So, in view of that, I upgrade my views of your poetry. However, 
apologies I do not extend because I had stated that my impressions had 
been based on your soc.cul.magyar platform utterances.
I also want to let you know that not a complete yahoo "opinioned" about 
your poetica but a former friend and admirer of the Canadian (Montreal) 
poet Leonard Cohen, and a onetime friend, "flat-mate" (in Toronto 
-Madison Ave.) of the poet, translator, compiler (a volume called "How do 
I love thee"; I hope John included in it something by you) of John Robert 
Colombo (I did rough translations and "explications" of a number of 
Hungarian poems for him).
Well, I've got to run and for the time being sincerely, Laszlo H.

A lot of mailers and newsreaders enable the user to use your favorite Word
Processor to write your letter or followup, and than send it. If it is a
windows based one, and your default font is set to smaller than a 10cpi size
(e.g. 8 points) than the width of your text will be more than 80 caracters. Now
if your fellow man somewhere else reads it on a 80 char. wide monitor in text
mode, the lines will be somewhat disorganized (ko'cos). That has nothing to do
with stupidity. And USENET is part of the Internet as the word Internet used in

Closing comments: I don't have to be perfect in spelling or grammar, since I
don't claim to be a poet or native speaker of this great language. Wally claims
both, you claim to be a poet.
I don't have to be a master cook to determine whether the food tastes good or
not. (I hope you are able to comprehend the analogy.)

At their place, where else. She's doing a lap dance for 'im. Then, Wally will 
conduct his "moose mating call", and they'll "do it" like moose-heads.
After the fun, they'll hopefully visit their friendly neighborhood hospital,

maybe they should just visit their friendly neighborhood proctologist, and get
enemas, to clear out their systems.

A legelmergesedettebb harc 1956-ert a "Hungary" nevu (amerikai
liberalis magankezen levo) Internet-listan folyt, ahol a "kadar-

Well, yes.

So you're gonna force us to like your poetry with some dorky references?

I like Shakespeare. I like Kolcsey. I like Balassy. I like Poe. I like
Gardonyi. I like Fekete Istvan. I like the Canadian Rock group "Rush".
I don't know why they appeal to me, but they do. Maybe, because I can find some
similarity between my life and what they produced.

I don't like Rimbaud, or Walt Whitman, or Faulkner or Picasso (although I did 
like the "Adventures of Picasso"; one of the best films I have ever seen!) or
Bartok. I can't find any similarity between my life and what they produced.
Just as I don't like your style, no matter how many credentials you have.

On the other hand, when you're not stuck up on your "poetry", your posts are
very objective, I find.

"imprtessions" on your's and Ms Bali's Internet "manifestations". There 
the majority of your utterances and fragments from your poetry were, to 
my taste -and all such things are subjective- anachronistic, banal and 
bombastic. Anachronistic because the age of Dada is over. This age has 
it's own modernistic spirit and not only I do not have a quarrell with 
it: I love it. "Old-fashioned" modernist in "new-fashioned" modernist 
surrounding do look and sound pathetic. For example every once in a while 
when I revisit the old scenes of my haunts in the "North Beach" part of 
San Francisco (onetime Jack Kerouac, A. Ginsberg, etc. "country") I'd run 
into some old acquaintance not only in the old style hippy garb but 
frozen into the old beat/hippy mindset. The total appearance is of great 
hangdog pathos.
And you, Mr Keeler, with your "cyberspace-appearance" -for that's all I 
know of you, and that's what you can project to you fellow syberspace 
walkers with your dadastyle manifestos, declarations, phraseoly, project 
something out-of-datish, anachronistic.
Evidently you have a cause and a massage (and that's all right to have 
one) and you try to sell it. And I pull for you. But you go about it the 
wrong way. You cannot be taken seriously. Why not compromise a bit? Sure, 
deflate your ago a bit. Make your "Republic" more friendly and inviting.
By the way, the poems that you quote here from our volume are very good.
So, in view of that, I upgrade my views of your poetry. Apologies I do 
not extend because I had stated that my impressions had been based on 
your soc.cul.magyar platform utterunces.
I also want to let you know that not a complete yahoo "opinioned" about 
your poetica but a former friend and admirer of the Canadian (Montreal) 
poet Leonard Cohen, and a onetime friend, "flat-mate" (in Toronto 
-Madison Ave.) of the poet, translator, compiler (a volume called "How do 
I love thee"; I hope John included in it something by you) John Robert 
Colombo (I did rough translations and "explications" of a number of 
Hungarian poems for him).
Well, I've got to run and for the time being sincerely, Laszlo H.

Valasz Magyar Asszonytarsaink Felhivasara (uj alairasokkal)

Mar gr. Szechenyi Istvan is a magyar nok tamogatasat kerte a Nemzet
erkolcsi talpraallasahoz, mint mondta: "mert annyi nemes es szep, ami
az emberiseget felemeli, a Ti nemetek muve!"

Hos Magyar Asszonyok!  Volt batorsagtok tamogatni mert megertettetek
a "Legnagyobb Magyar" 166 evvel ezelott elhangzott kereset!

Mint a nyugati magyarsag huseges honleanyai, meghallottuk es meg-
ertettuk segelykialtastokat.  - Mint magyar allampolgarok, mi a messze
idegen vilagban is megoriztuk magyarsagunkat, kulturankat es nyelvunket.
Mindennek ellenere mi  -  NEM SZAVAZHATTUNK -  pedig azt
mas nemzet fiai-leanyai megtehettek!  "Kisemmizve" ereztuk magunkat.
Ez meg nem jelenti azonban, hogy nem lehetunk "igazabb, husegesebb"
tagjai a magyar Hazanak, mint azok, akik most ott ulnek a magyarok
Orszaganak a Hazaban.

A megmerettetesnel konnyunek talaltatik az a kormany es mindazon
tagjai, akik kizarolag NEM a magyar Nemzet erdekeit kiepviselik es
a Haza jobbrafordulasat szolgaljak, hanem idegen erdekeket es onzo,
egyeni gazdagodasukat.  Akarva-akaratlanul is tovabb raboljak, meg-
semmisitik meg azt is, amit a 45 eves -megprobaltatasokkal teli- rend-
szer meghagyott.

A magyar nep pusztulasa, fogyasa es tovabbi szenvedese, Hazank
teljes kiszolgaltatottsaga, kifosztasa, valoban a "Nemzethalal" viziojat
vetiti elenk!  Eppen ezert, a vilag minden tajan szetszorodva, ahol
igaz magyar Anyak, Hitvesek es Notestvereink elnek, a legmelyebb
egyutterzessel es megertessel Veletek aggodunk, es felhivasotokhoz
csatlakozunk!

Kovetelestekhez, felszolitastokhoz csatlakozunk.Csatasorban allunk
mellettetek es hatvanyozva kerjuk es koveteljuk, Veletek egyutt, hogy
a meg "magyarul" erzo politikusok es az ellenzeki partok vezetoi a

Ne legyenek tobbe repedesek magyarok kozott, ahova a liberalkozmo-

es zsarolni tudjak a magyar nepet.  Kerjuk az egymas iranti turelmet, meg-
ertest.  Felreteve minden szemelyeskedest, onzo erdeket, hiusagot!

A kifosztott, tonkretett orszagbol pedig mielobb tunjenek el a Haza

A sokat szenvedett nep megmenteset koveteli most minden nemzeti

as do you, mon cher wally. or did you not pronounce the self-same
judgements upon my personage - ahm... without knowing one fucking thing
about me.

hmmm?

but i will tell you something. i shall not be posting my so called
credentials to usenet. because i do firmly believe (call it idiosyncratic)
that here, for once, the worth, the weight, of ones perspective may be
evaluated by one's *content*... and the context into which one injects
said content. credentials, at least to me, matter not one whit.

and your behavior, the context of your posts, often is questionable. all
too often.

first and foremost then, wally. a human being. thus, to qualify poetry, in
this environment, is subjective at best. not a position that is defensible
by credentials.

Yes, it is stupid when our friend presumes to lecture us on the rights and 
wrongs of the Internet. Should one use a WP then one should make sure the
text fits inside the monitor's right margin on downloading. Just imagine 
if you had to scroll horizontally through hundreds of such sloppy postings 
a day. It's poor netiquette. A year or two back I had a discussion on just 
this point with an ng moderator. He was (rightly) emphatic about the need 
for text lines in postings to be less than 80 chars wide. 

>And USENET is part of the Internet as the word Internet used in
>its wide interpetation.

I know what you mean, but in usenet.answers it is made clear that 
Usenet and Internet, though pretty much inter-crossed these days are 
still different networks. Some Usenet stuff isn't accessed by the Internet 
(and vice versa.) Normally I wouldn't argue the toss, but going on-line 
after a heavy day and seeing the verbal diarrhoea posted by Simon, I decided
to let rip. No, not terribly polite or diplomatic, but very therapeutic! 

Anyway, sorry for the outburst....coming in to dock...retro-rockets ready..
