Yesterday I read John Kinsella's America (A poem), just out from Arc, a book
length work which does something with "all this", a kind of kaleidoscopic
nightmare of trash culture, delusion and environmental destruction. It's a
pretty good poem, I reckon; at least, at the end I thought, I wish I'd
written that...
Also Prynne deals pretty eptly with those realities. And many others.
All best
