The cultural apparatus excludes/despises vitality in the literature of young
poets? As a young vital poet I swear that cannot be. No, it simply cannot
be. No, it cannot be. No, it cannot. No. No. No! Kent? Alison?
Please, help. tell me it ain't true.
Heh.
Sarcastic bastard that I am.
Best,
Patrick

Looks fascinating, Kent. Congrats!
I was thinking of you last night, because I was reading out
Eremenko's description in _The Third Wave_ of the cultural
"apparatus" - its effect on young poets and its hatred of vitality in
literature - to a friend. Wonderful essay, if depressingly familiar
even this end of the world -
