The stark lonely High Plains and vast desolate nothingness out there. Did Capote capture it in his nonfiction novel?

Eliot and Pound deserve to be dissected with tools like these. Are you familiar with Richard Alf's "Errant Hours in San Diego"? A more modern novel, but very much in line with the texts you are delving into here.mantmarblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350882479535662318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276895231770993298.post-90475866725443672432009-02-09T01:09:00.000-08:002009-02-09T01:09:00.000-08:00I'm only speaking for myself, a snarky voice in th...I'm only speaking for myself, a snarky voice in the straight wilderness. <BR/><BR/>Go ahead and save poetry for the rest of the world.

Likewise, poetry's current never stops, but moves along constantly changing, carrying all the poetry of the past to the present and future.<BR/><BR/>Lyric recovery may be our task to perform as we bathe in those waters!<BR/><BR/>Let's not demand that Language Poetry be responsible for everything that happens as poetry changes. It had its moment and now is part of the stream.<BR/><BR/>Diana<BR/><BR/>.Diana Manisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337577356237998370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276895231770993298.post-71028196934689794772009-01-12T07:25:00.000-08:002009-01-12T07:25:00.000-08:00Dear Dennis,Not only gays need lyric recovery!

There is a natural progression that leads from the works of Monet up through Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso.<BR/><BR/>I've posted four images over at my site that I think you may enjoy. Three Kandinsky as related to development, and a Gris for the fun of speculation. Hope you enjoy.Books r Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525290107170825927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276895231770993298.post-52383174936936535042008-09-28T21:23:00.000-07:002008-09-28T21:23:00.000-07:00YESSSS!!!!!YESSSS!!!!!Books r Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525290107170825927noreply@blogger.com
