I am real lost, or this thread has lost me. For awhile I got the
impression
the focus was on suckable mints somehow conflated into a Mintie poetry
magazine that Mairead at some point graced, but this was after episodes
of
discussing whether or not Joe had suckered us with his parodies (during
which I remember falling asleep, not suckering or getting suckered by
any of
it), and now I am trying to figure out if what will come up now - under
the
'suckability' rubric - is if we are going down some rarely chartered,
perhaps totally new poetrylistserv history on or as to who - among
poets, I
assume - has the ability to suck (as a negative, critical consequence in
his/her own poems, or as in the action of something more intimate, to
what
or whom or how, I cannot imagine), yet to talk about it as in matters of
content, technique, and qualities - which I guess - we, as poet tasters
-
are either already expert or will become so during the ensuing
discussion.
Am I still totally off track. Whatever it is, purrhaps I am ready to
hear
it.
