Pound
oh yeah, vis-a-vis pound, he had a knack for juicy qoutes, which means he gets quoted all the time by writing teachers (anyone ever hear marvin say "make it new?" it was the moment i turned decisively toward decoration).
also, the prose pound refers to is, like, flaubert. and, i imagine, houlihan reads new yorker stories only. i mean, the sense of inevitability in faulkner is so overwhelming.
anyway, i thought nothing of it. people like this like to pull out pound because it makes them look "edgy."
was that an ad hominem attack? (people like this).

Dude, how can I praise your magnanimity if you're only embracing your questioners so as to better stab them in the kidneys? "People like this... deserve my most ruthless stabbing stabs!"
So, did you like how a few minutes after blasting Hoolyhan for not knowing her People's History of the Poetic States I dropped some half-baked idea about how poets writing criticism of of their friends began around 1954? First, I totally have no idea as to whether or not that actually happened. Seems like it might've. Second, on reflection the phenomenon of friends-holding-hands might be seen to go back a little further than the 50s: cf. Pound and Eliot and posse, Coleridge and Wordsworth, Sodom and Gomorrah... Still, I'm sure it's way different now.
Cause it's January now and we are in THE 22ND CENTURY!!! ! ! !
(Look, ma -- no poems!)
Hopefully I'm gonna see Savitz and JD in Chickytown this weekend. We'll yawp at a cop for you, and you, and you too, little William...
