> Just got my copies of Poems for the Millennium.

Will be a good exercise just to compare the greats with relative unknowns. I mean, I'm so jealous of Rimbaud's translation, and it's not a bilingual edition. Amazing really. It'll sound dumb, but part the reason I keep mentioning crowing, beside its sound, is cos I thought "Only a cock stood on the roof tree" from Eliot's poem was about Rimbaud. As well as jealousy, in general, I mean. A great poem, though I'm no critic. I feel like even four quartets is a bit disappointing.

Cheers anyways,

Luke

keep reading and writing anyway ...

 

maybe not 'wrong', just 'different'; who's to say others are 'right'? 

On the spectrum of writing some work will suit some people and not others .... ditto in music. There's a milieu somewhere.

Well, you know.

I do think I figured out how to write as I was intending during my MA course -- like noise. So, denying Olson's "moral perception", slower than feeling, quicker than intellect. I think it does work, deliberate immoralism: I think the music then enacts its opposite. I've posted so much crap. but do you think it works like that -- at all? It definitely stumbles a lot, anyway? Maybe the wrong sort of questions to asl/ The quote is from Bobrowski... cheers for all the recommended reading, really.
