The article, while presenting some very valid advice, also waxes slightly sycophantic.

That's a great phrase; totally agree. Also, is it just me or is there something odd about the photos of Erik? I can't quite place it, they just seem off to me.

This is a lot like interviewing Jim Watt about how to protect the environment.

Whoops, ignore that post. Test post.

You really wanna hear what I have to say about poetry, don't you? ;-)

_refugee_  ·  3794 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'll write it for you, a la 8bit.

you wanna know the truth about contemporary poetry? Okay. I'll give it to you. Contemporary poetry sucks, yo.

You wound me.

Although honestly I'm so f'ing fried today that I'm not sure I could muster much more than that. I still owe that last stuff you linked a read.

(it remains in my inbox)

That's fine, no debts. I would write more of your pseudo-reply except I'm busy out at dinner. (My wine is my date.) (they sent me away on company business and now I'm abroad in Virginia alone for a month. I expect my hubski-ing to increase a stupendously frightening amount.)

Where in Virginia? I'm only one state away, I'll come buy you dinner.

If it's feasible that would be lovely. I was going to hit you up on Facebook. I'm in Richmond Sunday nights to Friday nights until 8/15.

thenewgreen  ·  3793 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, it's totally feasible. It's only a 2.5 hour drive. Life is nuts right now, but let me see what I can pull off. Are you available at all during the day?

_refugee_  ·  3793 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Not really, here are some thoughts. I'm available around 4-5pm weekdays; I could come in early on a Sunday and be around in the afternoon.
