How is poetry like psychoanalysis? I had a fascinating conversation with Daniel Katz (@DanielKatz6) about Jack Spicer and his poem “Psychoanalysis: An Elegy.” https://t.co/NsKMwEb8TD

[Kamran Javadizadeh @kjavadizadeh]

I talked with Nick Sturm about the brilliant Alice Notley, who died just three weeks ago, and her poem “At Night the States.”

“making life, not explaining anything”

I missed having these conversations.

all you have to do is take your clothes off
and all is wiped away revealing life’s tenderness

I’m saying one of the greatest own goals of all time

[Will Warren @statsbywill]

First time Tennessee’s gone >1 point per possession in each of their first six games of a season in 24 years. I’ll assume that unlike 2000-01 with Jerry Green this season does not end with Rick Barnes requesting Tennessee fans to fight him at a Kmart.
