I tend to like it better than poetry that is not confessional because a lot of that stuff seems stilted, academic -- if that makes sense.jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572881547671631396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13154063.post-1154030093208162572006-07-27T12:54:00.000-07:002006-07-27T12:54:00.000-07:00I know what you mean. Capitalism and its democrat...I know what you mean. Capitalism and its democraticizing effect (a la YouTube, Lulu, etc) has had quite an impact. I don't know if that's what you're referring to, but that's what I think of...along with people like James Frey. As far as pain and loneliness, yes, most everybody can relate there. Not that I am for overt didacticism or pity-parties, but personal and/or even confessional writing/poetry is still interesting to me, as uncool as that may be.<BR/><BR/>oh, and thanks for the nice comment on the freewrite. There's really about three sentences in it I like, which I may keep and plant into another poem.Lee Herrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13989557906560291595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13154063.post-1154009311610201822006-07-27T07:08:00.000-07:002006-07-27T07:08:00.000-07:00I really like this write.

It has heart. <BR/><BR/>You know, I was thinking this morning (always a bad sign) and I started to wonder if part of the reason art has turned 'inward' on the self is directly related to the idea of capitalism, and the struggle for personal identity when there is no more 'communal' identity. I guess this is both bad and good -- bad in the sense that it leads to a lot of naval gazing but good in the sense that it truly reflects the age we live in -- and all of us can identify with the painful loneliness of self.<BR/><BR/>Just rambling. . . sorry . . .<BR/><BR/>liked this thoughjennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572881547671631396noreply@blogger.com
