There's a LOT of assuming about how and what poets do and why embodied in that opening "if."
Just saying.
The image in the upper left of each page of the Rail's web edition is not credited, or if it is, is impossible to find. It is a 1965 work by the late Bruce Conner, titled HANDPRINT.
(The Conner image is also on the cover of the print edition, and is credited there.)
This month's Brooklyn Rail has too articles about Conner, by John Yau and David Levi Strauss, respectively.
It's sort of like somebody bringing up every topic under the sun at once.
Is it to kill the comment box?
Is it just everything you've read?
This time I read the two Beat pieces. The first one was fun to read, the second one didn't help me. Too often you seem to link to something written by a journalist who hasn't really covered a subject in any depth, or has any special insight into their subject or is just bloviating.
Honestly, I'd rather you bloviate on just about any topic than hear these scribblers doing their best.
But I'd love to hear YOUR response to it.
I don't think this is really blogging to just list a bunch of stuff.
You're cheating.
