p.s. I get the date wrong in the interview. Shoulda had a calendar. If you’re in the Ventura area I’ll be featured at the Artist’s Union Gallery at the end of California street on the fourth Tuesday in April, which is the 24th. Starts at 7:30.
Robert, it was such a pleasure interviewing you! Thank you for sharing your poems on Radio Ojai.
Total pleasure to chat with you, Lisa. And doubly so on one of my favorite topics.
Thanks for tuning in (so to speak). Ojai is the only town of 8,000 I know of that has its own "radio" show. See why I like this place?
Seems like a good place to be alright. Strong momentum of culture and participation.
Had another thought on your geography density theory. May not be so far off. The gestures began earlier. Asia and American was more agrarian than Europe 50 and 100 years ago. How old would the communication distance be.

It is indeed a colorful place, as post like this attest:

On the personal space front, my English wife was quick to point out that Europe is an awfully big place. Poland and Italy, for example, are notorious as places where people get right up into your face to talk to you as a normal course of social interaction. Exceptions to the continent-by-continent rule. But perhaps somehow they fit your agrarian-to-urban model of evolving distances? Makes sense that generally people used to a cramped environment crave space, and those out in the field all day want to get close when others are finally near. Gestures, of course, and the space they require to be made without hitting someone, add a whole new dimension.
