[New-Poetry] Fueled by Jealousy opps Envy!

[kate thorn]

and if poet is gainfully employed and writes in the inbtween moments of life?  I 
once wrote all over a paper bag at a restuarant, because I had a pen but no 
paper.
I think writing should be a new disease. An addiction.  Incurrable.---kate

Envy is the common currency of poetry, and every poetry whore knows this. 
Let others camp on their platitudes and denial of whoredom.

I have said it before and shall say it again, every poet is a whore
who aint' working. So why  why stand down from the truth.

It was offensive, but I wasn't personally offended.

At 02:32 PM 10/16/2010, you wrote:

Forgive me, Mark. I really don't think I'm the only one partly fueled by 
jealously over those "privileged" few who get to write poetry and not worry 
about a paycheck because their work is valued. I do apologize for offending you. 
The comment was not presumptuous, though.

New from Chax Press: Mark Weiss, As Landscape. 
$16.  Order from http://www.chax.org/poets/weiss.htm
 
 
"What a beautiful set of circumstances! What a lovely concatenation of 
particulars. Here is the poet alive in every sense of the word, and through 
every one of his senses. Instead of missing a beat or a part, Weiss’ fragments 
are like Chekhov’s short stories­the more that gets left out, the more they seem 
to contain… One can hear echoes from all the various ancestors...[but] the 
voice, at its center, its core, is pure Mark Weiss. His use of the fragment is 
both elegant and bafflingly clear, a pure musical threnody…[it] opens a window, 
not only into a mind, but a person, a personality, this human figure at the 
emotional center of the poem."
