I love putting together readings that expose audiences to poets and poetry that they wrongly dismissed and pushing them toward the conclusion that compelling poetry is compelling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-60122450515541819982010-11-29T18:29:02.497-08:002010-11-29T18:29:02.497-08:00I've always wanted a secret decoder ring...

I laughed at...Wow.<br /><br />That article. Cringe is right.<br /><br />I laughed at Wonder Boys vs. Devil Wears Prada (because being a poet is so unlike either of these movies, although I wish that it was more like both of these).<br /><br />Everyone is so fixated on the MFA issue (not you--the article, I mean), for sure. Why do you think this is? To justify our own decisions to attend them or not? <br /><br />Thanks for the decoder ring. I have found it very helpful :).Hannah Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792203070774504501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-17739205751715496012010-11-29T08:46:03.775-08:002010-11-29T08:46:03.775-08:00Preach it, sister!Preach it, sister!Supervillainesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03721829125190373978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-5009949173425534382010-11-29T06:01:43.410-08:002010-11-29T06:01:43.410-08:00Laughing and cringing.
