- blimey! strong denial of my tutoring role here... all I'm trying to
suggest is, whatever it is, it's probably not as simple as we think. Is
that PoMo? Can I keep the badge they sent with part 1? And, as a general
idea, that quoting beats asserting on a list like this...
I don't think Douglas needs to feel particularly out-in-the-cold anyway:
there's enough evidence that we all "approach poetry" from different
directions (well, I know I do) - so that grouping never provides anyone
with more than a temporary makeshift shelter.
Love the HughesPlathCorp analogy with Microsoft/Apple. Umberto Eco once
argued that Apple was catholicism to DOS's protestantism - now that wd
make...
