BURROUGHS IN COLORADO

ANNE WALDMAN: I fell in love with William last summer at the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. He’s such a good teacher. Meticulous. He said: “Remember, a writer has to write.” He also had this squirrel he befriended and fed. Everyone reacted very well to him and he handled the situation of being there perfectly.

Colorado has decriminalized marijuana. Open smoking there is quite pleasant. We stood out in the street in front of the Hotel Boulderado with the desk clerk and smoked a good joint yesterday afternoon. Bill told me that not only were there a number of very hip places in the States outside of New York, but the trend to go to New York was reversing and people from New York were moving to places like Boulder, Eugene, Oregon, etc. Little is lacking and life is much cheaper, safer, and, in some cases, more productive. Both Bill and James feel they are getting a lot more work done out in Colorado than they ever got done in New York. Though Bill points out that he has very carefully kept out of the New York social life because it is too distracting. “I see very few people and mostly people I know very well, but I probably know more people in Boulder than I know in New York.”
