B-R,<br /><br />sorry for the neglect and such-much polite correctness<br /><br />however<br />I have just gotten into<br />Louis Aragon's 1922: The Adventures of Telemachus<br /><br />this is PRE Brerton's 'man-if-phest-ering-toes" and...<br />dig "it" <br /><br /> 90-plus years before Stone Girl be:came<br />... like 25,00 B.C. was merely a moment a-go ... then gone<br /><br />a quote from Aragon's novwell-novel:<br /><br /> "She quickly got up and ran to the neighboring cave. Telemachus felt heavier than the mountain. Eucharis returned with an oil nightlight gleaming like a philosopher's stone: it seemed as golden as desire, and her lover hastily recognised the power of her beauty. Nymphs instill in mortals an ever renewed passion. Eucharis was a nymph and Telemachus a mortal. Weariness had long since made skulls turn in the shade when Eucharis's head fell back on the bed like an empty walnut shell. Telemachus then absentmindedly petted the forehead of his first mistress and began to think."<br /><br />and this BEFORE or on the cusp of (Breton's) Surrealism "stuff" from which Aragon (after splitting from Eluard split from the rest of The Boys Club..<br /><br />so<br /><br />you see <br /><br />" Night at high noon. If you know what love is, make allowances for whatever follows."

I've also sensed in Silliman a strong puritan streak behind the post-avant philosophy. My own editorial policy is probably similar to other people's (though of couse I doon't get a zillionth of the hits that RS does): if anything is both abusive and anonymous I wont print it.Laurie Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324479044544427139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-364661476588393868.post-51440102498130590732010-08-09T16:32:46.189-07:002010-08-09T16:32:46.189-07:00me thinks that it is just "growing pains"...me thinks that it is just "growing pains" and a matter of who is/ or will be in control<br /><br />and how to make of the net<br />a $$$$ - paying, credentialist-granting "thing'<br /><br />what will eventually happen is artists/poets will retreat into an "underground"<br /> New-Wave Mimeo-paper<br /><br />(very) limited production wayof doing things and getting their "stuff" to THEIR two or three or 25 "readers" <br /><br />I mean of the 2.347 million blogs and zines "out there" I only "cruise" maybe 5 and I have recently dropped 2 of those.<br /><br />Ron knows a lot of "stuff" and, I think, that it was passed time for him to present thing his schtick (as Ginsberg once told me) I/we "write for those who 'dig it'"<br /><br />DIG IT?<br /><br />as for me<br /><br />the poem either "works" or it doesn't (work)<br />and, ultimately who is caring and what it does?Ed Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285310130024785775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-364661476588393868.post-58943194213705599702010-08-09T15:42:33.357-07:002010-08-09T15:42:33.357-07:00"Cultural capital" sums it up nicely; it..."Cultural capital" sums it up nicely; it's what we're all protective of, but shouldn't be.

Some of the philosophers I read are currently blogging and commenting back and forth just as nastily as poets. The issue is something just about as tangible as those poets argue over. It has something to do with Derrida. Maybe. Or maybe it has nothing to do with Derrida. it's hard to tell.<br /><br />Who knows what the hell poets and/or philosophers fight about? I guess Bourdieu called it cultural capital.John B-Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041221232768939991noreply@blogger.com
