Damascus Dancings, apostle of Jack Feist, co-laborer together with Lee Sharks, from the bowels of the mercies of literature, to the Church of the...

I wrote this book for you. Read it and transform yr mind. Read it and get a crash course in the last hundred years of poetics. Save yrself the trouble of pawing through the tepid mess of contemporary...

Just, you know: stolid and unchanging (like a brontosaurus), and simultaneously fleeting and ephemeral (like a blade of grass)

THE PARABLE OF THE TRANSFORMED DINOSAURS

THE PARABLE OF POLICE BRUTALITY


You have heard it said, “grammar is a poet’s instrument.”


I say to you, “grammar is a police baton. A poet sculpts brutality.”


Here is how the baton...

Not quite. It presents in that way, but I think you'll find that the resemblance is only skin deep.

1. Compose real poems telepathically, with mind control powers, inside your glorious brain.

2. You are your own best...

Learning to Write by Forgetting to Read
An essay by Lee Sharks

Very few people know it, but the secret to great writing is not reading. Once I was an ordinary boy child of indeterminate gender,...

I'll throw tiny, sharp-edged pulpits at you from my expensive spaceship. Later, I will collect the tiny pulpits and put them up for sale on eBay, then use the money I make to purchase justice, love,...

You lost me.

Didn't you just finish suggesting that any kind of publishing reduces writing to a desire for money and fame?

I'll stick with my own, more reasonably sized pulpit.

You don't actually want a community that doesn't care about charitable discourse. You want a community where making an honest attempt to engage and understand is the norm. That goes for an aesthetic...

Huh well. I refer you to the conversation in the thread "Getting Poetry Published" in the Poets and Poetry forum (I think). I won't debate the initial premise about desiring an audience or a writerly...

OK well at least now y're being funny.

Couple of points -- actually, freedom of speech isn't ABSOLUTE absolute anywhere, and certainly not here. Not that I think yours should be restricted. But...

I'm not entirely clear about how your response relates what I wrote, there. Clarify?

Here's the difference: Wolf made a broad, inclusive, clearly bombastic claim about castrating for the crime of rhyme in a manifesto-like creative text, but when an individual (YesNo) challenged him...

HCabret--Wolf, despite his strong views, has shown a commitment to charitable discourse. He's trying to start a conversation; you're being petty.

Lykren--my criticism was of the vitriol of several...

it's sad to me how often people reply in this way to larsen's work.

at least he's doing something different.

i'm tired of getting kicked off of discussion forums. i'm thinking about starting a small press--or less ambitiously, to start with, a lit mag. i'd like to avoid the models of...

Well, at the risk of triggering the continental allergy that tends to go hand-in-hand with the culture of (analytical) philosophy training, might I suggest some short works of theory? I know you cite...
