Simplicity in Poetry

[rowens]

Weeded, you should read Cormac McCarthy, and watch The Sunset Limited and The Counselor. The Counselor if only for the last scene which reminds you who wrote the thing. You could watch Child of God if you prefer less talking and more violence. -- I don't know an audience. They don't come to my house and shake my hand, they don't go to the movies with me. I don't read the literary journals, but what complexity I've seen in recent poetry is something anybody can learn in college, overhear on the street or look up online. In other words, worthlessness. And the people who write and edit that stuff are boring people with no personalities. I assume the poetry audience is mostly that way too, so I assume I wouldn't like them.
