There will always be
a poem
I will climb on top of it and come
In and out of time,
Cocking my head to the side slightly,
As I finish shaking, melting then
Into its body, its soft skin
--Jim Carroll,
"Poem"

What's New
If you have been to this site before, you may notice things look a little different. I'm in the process of redeveloping the entire site in PHP. Previously the site was done in ASP, but my hosting provider no longer supports ASP. Well . . . the site needed some refreshing, anyway, right? It is going to take me a while to get the
more than 700 pages of this site re-coded, but I figured I'd at least put the home page up to let you know what's going on.
For the time being, the entire site is down!
The Fan Discussion email group is still alive and kicking, so feel free to stop in there to get your Jim Carroll fix while I'm working on the site. If you're not a member yet, just plug your email address into the Fan Discussion box at the left and click "go."
Also, for the first time in about ten years, my entire master's thesis on Jim Carroll is available on this website. That'll keep you busy for a while.
