Some poesy, at any rate. And you are continuing to do so, so you may.
I have been reading all this with a certain distance. I guess Joe, you
can dislike any poetry you want to, & so can we all. I find a lot of
so-called language poetry exciting & far more interesting than some of
the poetry RS has named as School of Queitude. On the other hand,
there;s a lot of so-called LangPo bores me.
On the other other hand, his blog often contains information that is
interesting, useful, etc. Some of the books he praises I know I would
like; others, not. So?
I think some of his ideas about poetry are useful some not. But the
fact of thinking & arguing such ideas, whether or not they turn out to
be the ideas (the poetics) I finally take on, is also useful.
And sometimes, perhaps, your thinking does that too. At other times, I
just don't get what you're nattering on about, or why you're bothering
(as is often likely for my readers, too).
