security camera and plastic owl

"These matters require what I think of as the Shakespearean cast of thought. That is to say, a fine credulity about everything kept in check by a lively skepticism about everything."

FOR GODDES SAKE!

WHO THE FUCK IS IN CHARGE HERE? PRICK CHENEY?

ted kooser won the pulitzer. and not only that, he gets compared to wallace stevens on the basis of employment:

Mr. Kooser, of Garland, Neb., is the poet laureate of the United States. Like Wallace Stevens, Mr. Kooser, 65, worked in life insurance for much of his career.

this man's writing is like a lukewarm gob of porridge dried on a pair of khakis lying on a beige linoleum floor. shocking and pathetic. at any rate, a good reason why poetry should not be part of the culture. let's throw dirt on our heads and become green men of the forest. i choose to take this personally.

this man's ilk is an example of what t.j. jackson lears calls "evasive banality." shameful.
