Been spending a good bit of time online lately....checking blogs, following links, hitting publishers and journals and other stuff in the poetics universe. Now I am left with the overwhelming impression that re-acting and reacting and acting and over re acting to each others productions (in the widest definition)is the most common pastime in the poetics universe. Do folks really give a fuck, give a rats ass, give a crap that much about what the 'other' is or is not doing. To spell it out for a change: What the Fuck? I am really unable to make up my mind if these folks that are in dialogue over this and that are taking themselves seriously.
Nothing original in this: I know what I like. That is what matters. I can recognize it. I can recognise not it and turn away.
Blah blah blah.
Maybe something in this. When I came up it took time and cost money to find and purchace and get ahold of and follow what everyone was doing across the space. You had to track someone down and send them $ and hope something came back. Or find a store or a friend. Seems like one didn't waste time or money on something one had problems with. Heard Bly once and never again spent time or money on THAT!
Blah blah blah.

yeah, I think no one gives a fuck. I was googling Paul Mariah to see what I could see, and you came up and remember we used to correspond way back when you were helping out with William's art biz, et al? ANYWAY, hello, Jesus. Long time, blah blah. BUT, I want info on Paul.... it's like he hardly ever existed and he was one of the greats. What the fuck, what happened? etc. etc. Now words are ground out in the blizzard of the white screen. ALL best wishes. F.A.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Nettelbeck for sure. No longer with the Burroughs Corp but still in Lawrence yeah. Paul Mariah...jeez yes what a shame not more attention from folks who should know him and what he did for all poetics and queer poetics for sure. even with all the attention of late to Spicer for xists sake...little or no mention of Paul. Of couse Paul saw to it or tried to educate everyone he came in contact with to what he thought of import...guess we need to push for his notice. Once I thought K Kellian might do/write something...but dont think he did. email me at jimmccrary81@gmail.com
