lol, very funny

I WRITE BOOKS & publish, so no need educate about what writers put into their books--im not a college kid

i too advocate lucidity: clear thinking, as essence in poetry, writing and in response to reading

yr sentiment: cliche ("the artist in the art")

read more

but yr prerogative

Fir example: Trump behaviour and books horror

Celine, horrible person, books great

Heidegger shadowy shitty person, great writer

I of course was influence by learning of their heart but…..

Celan often treated his wife horribly, but I still need his work in my life

I think you don’t quite comprehend my critique

I consider profoundly a person’s behaviour, as a human—as best I can know them/the action.

I never hero worship artists or pieces of work

People who ignore with disdain or worship are equally illiterate

I evaluate separately,differing criterion

truth info can distort our experience, for sure

when i re-read 2 Munro stories, didnt quite feel the same about her

folk think artists have to be mad lunatics or transgressive to be authentic and good (which is idiotic) and that folk think great art necessitates suffering

agree

i pay absolutely NO ATTENTION to the way people behave in public or private when evaluating their art

i know spectacularly kind, generous and lovely folk, who write shite or dont write at all,
great

& miserable abusive pricks whose work/books I NEED & LOVE

a day struggling with something i thought (initially, alas) had worked (drunken delirium of jet lag), i turn away from the poem and language of the head and seek something else and return an old series to toss out the sentimental into the river

this remarkable pastor is a perfect example of what is missing in the US, a person who not only speaks to power but understands fearless love for her belief and for speaking directly toward evil

may history remember Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde and not the horror with pancake makeup
