120 Bill Little begins with introduction: “What I’m gonna do tonight is fairly well like an annual stockholders’ report.” Announces his future reading at Capilano College toward the end of the month (February, 1975), “where I’ll do a ten year tableau. This (present) reading will be just poems from the past year.”

197 “If you have to go out in the cold, dress yourself in this poem first: warm arm, warm arm…”
233 “The second poem I’ll read is a collaboration between Brett and I, done under the pseudonym of “R. Ming Zero La Fou.” It’s called “Balderdash”.”
