Some of the ideas were phrased really beautifully, for instance:<br /><br />Does a fear of silence equal to the poet’s human fear of death,<br /><br />I thought that was a fascinating idea/concept<br /><br />Finally, I agree with step, there's this wierd, dark undertone that underlies this whole manifesto, I think stemming from your violent male sexuality...I see what Steph wrote about the mothers, but inerestingly, at the end of that section, you proclaim that "man" will be the mother of words...really intriguing.<br /><br />brettStranger Passinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161271652293103463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316462595382759732.post-26827421397984341982009-04-14T20:31:00.000-07:002009-04-14T20:31:00.000-07:00Joe- I REALLY dig your manifesto.

How you make it happen I'm not sure, through sound, through brief iamges that add up in a way not quite explicit, through luck? I don't really understand the first list, yes too abstract, but peeked my curiosity. The Good Stuff- I think I completely agree and a good question. finally what's with all the male sexuality.... are women left out of the poem per world manifesto or forced to thinks in term of their sexuality? typical world. (i'm sure you meant nothing by it, i'm just having fun, but it's something you should probably think about). i guess at the end "mother's are poets" is a bit of consolation but women have to give birth to be poets or something like that?Stephanie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15519597559349284846noreply@blogger.com
