But back to the main question. Remember the Maine. Poetry in english & Amurrcan vs. Expat. How oddly these issues are reflected in the dilemma of the burning Bushdom & the world Household. That is I mean the Amurrcan concept of kick-the-can vs. the global sopholeum of gettalifedom.
Hey, talk!!
But back to purrtry. The crux of the future (of purrtry in catfish, I mean), as I see it, lies in the difference between how Melville re-wrote Shakespeare, the Bible, and the Classics, generating a new American Bible (Moby), on the one hand, and, on the other, the impact of Dante on Eliot & Pound. The difference in their stances toward the literary past, I mean. The difference = Dante, oddly enough; the diff between Latin & vernacular.
Jive mutha.
