It's Alive.

@realMattKParker @norabird Interestingly, melancholy 1-2 were the only pieces of his work I didn’t enjoy which is maybe reason enough to revisit.

@AtwinGracie2002 There’s that amazing review of the interior design of Cheesecake Factory

@misterminsoo Aged Tea 🤌 so few know

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@narnielade I like to think of it as a collaboration

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@narnielade It’s literally how we made the set. Where should we put understanding? I guess under standing.

@maiqtheliar @TomCoolingLDN If I didn’t lock the comments I’d have to deal with dipshits like you all day

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@TomCoolingLDN You wrote to me you idiot! I didn’t come looking for a moron’s opinion. Jesus. “Ad hominem” tells me just what kind of dickhead you are — the kind who hurts himself trying to suck his own dick. Fuck off.

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@TomCoolingLDN It’s like a guy who just heard of Shakespeare going “Virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese???? What a fool, an absolute tosser—- certainly no Homer.”

Ok, man, you’ve never heard of Shakespeare & have decided he’s bad based on a line. 🤷‍♂️ cool you care about poetry, I guess

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@TomCoolingLDN I will say that talking to you is a baffling experience. Like trying to reason with a goldfish. There’s no context I could give you to help you understand that basically your opinion doesn’t matter at all. This has long been settled. Her work is already baked into everything.

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@TomCoolingLDN Carson has already changed poetry and the way people approach language. She had already accomplished this in the 90s. Arguing about her work now is strictly for people that reckon they “have read a poem or two in their time” and so suddenly know everything. You’re the fool here.

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@TomCoolingLDN Yes Tom, it appears you have some thoughts on:

Cool, cooling.

You think it somehow indicative of shallow work. Yet only reveal your own shallow mind. You point to a curve in stone to say look how rough, without seeing it serves the statue, as the statue serves the cathedral.

@trashymortal @piercepenniless 👆look now, it’s one the aforementioned subliterate literary influencer/grifters in his natural habitat: the replies of actual readers. Be very still we don’t want to spook him.

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@realRiverC Then it must be excruciating to be you.

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@Wellsprings1 Dogs can’t see color, you can’t see truth and beauty. Its ok. Everything isn’t meant for everyone.

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

A lot of ppl dismissing Anne Carson today who first heard of her yesterday. Quite boring to proclaim her worth, without having even the slightest curiosity about why she is so revered. Treated as a “creature of academia” on one hand, Rupi Kaur on the other? Laughable.

A titan.

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

Sad to see every piece of art and literature reduced to fodder for the culture war. All the replies under this tweet are from know-nothings who have searched Carson’s name to fight with strangers. Mostly astroturfing bots. We deserve better. Art is bigger than politics.

@thomas11828117 Only if you can read dipshit

[thursdayband @thursdayband]

@albathrat Look at the replies on my tweet. None of these people follow me. They’re all searching her name and trashing her. It’s all culture war bullshit.
