dr_con Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Notes For The Other Self First I notice For not To does Author henceforth referred to as Poet claim as did Creeley when asked about I Know a Man ‘Maybe I’m just the poet’ or when I offered my sophomoric LANGUAGE prose poetry he sd “Class is this poetry?’ or as Pale Fire defers to lost footnotes that can’t be rd Yes yes yes of course so much more without disservice to intent Poet noted To Future Self indeed too many many times simile like of Borges’s Kafka and his Precursors often to a Past Self Cheat! Cheat! Cheat! We do not have Virilio's 28 books in Crepuscular Dawn Not a correct number Babylon is a myth For Futurists Weight fractured brought To 7.6 Billion Poets without common threads author and patriarch and matriarch unknown guessed interpreted fudged and it must be For To is To too exact Poets have an Other Who hides behind concrete or eldritch slither of specific specifics a forebear of Knowing Is it Poetry?

tonyv Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 "But is it poetry?" Juris, I have a pretty open mind when it comes to poetry, and I don't find it at all difficult to spot; "Notes for the Other Self" falls neatly into the category. I've been meaning to make a reply on Badge's recent "Instapoets" discussion topic -- I did have some difficulty finding poetry therein -- and your poem reminded me that I have to get around to that topic soon, so thanks for that. But gotta love English with it's ever so subtle nuances/differences like when it comes to "for" and "to."
