"rhyme is seen as anachronistic by most poets"

[rowens]

I have Nirvana's Bleach on cassette tape I got in the very late '80s and most of the books of rhyming poetry I stole from the library over the last few weeks before they met their doom. If anyone ever comes to town, all the public library's poetry is in my room. I stole the nonrhyming poetry too. I also stole all the D.H. Lawrence and Dostoevsky which they actually just threw in a pile next to the trashcan. I was too late to save the Samuel Beckett, they shredded most of the Bs.

It took a long time to get around to weeding out the poetry books because they all looked old and nobody knew what was worth keeping. They didn't know where to begin.
