[New-Poetry] I of the Storm

[Skip Fox]

Flaccid or gray? (Wasn't "gray" the designation of C.S. Lewis for a type of
16th-cent. poetry?) Or a poetry trying to actually capture an everyday
language? Or muted? 

 

In a way it reminds me somewhat of James Schuyler and David Antin,
resembling several qualities of each. What is interesting is how it rises
and falls in energy and intensity over the course of a long piece while
never losing its baseline.  An immersion in the real, perhaps.

fine with me.

 

I think that Bill Lavender's work in this book should not be excerpted, it
is a continuum that ends with Katrina. I think it is important to give this
key.

Anny,

The press/webpage you pointed to excerpted him...

An important event in human history is an excuse for flaccid poetry?
