[Devin 🌱 Thomas O'Shea @devintoshea]

up now on @donotresearch_ - read an excerpt from Chapter 16 THE VP FAIR ⤵️

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@SamBuntz yeah one of my favorites...I appreciate his long poems but something so compressed and distilled here

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@SamBuntz Another good one! This is the Ammons I was thinking of:

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@SamBuntz yeah that's the best line for me as well...feel like it anticipates the work of Geoffrey Hill somehow...oh Ammons is another I would add to my list...also gets hints of Ammons in that line.

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@SamBuntz ugh "pole position"...love this one by merwin: https://t.co/XsHh4WBWGs

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@SamBuntz Bishop, Merwin, Ashbery, and Merrill all more to my liking...probably others I'm forgetting. "The End of March" alone basically secures the poll position for Bishop in my mind.

@Liamjsm We’re entering heretofore unseen levels of idiocy and literary incompetence

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@Liamjsm @souljagoyteller in high school we read the jane smiley essay that implies American lit would have been better if it had developed out of UTC instead of Huck Finn and even at sixteen this claim felt utterly specious

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@Liamjsm yeah really failed to move the needle in any of my groupchats; huge disaster for them, in this respect

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

Remember: if you stay in grad school for half your life and then finally finish, you might get lucky and receive a prize for your efforts!

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@Liamjsm that is also true for me...came across an unreleased song of mine from 2006 that was...the most painful JD imitation imaginable...at least I had the sense to recognize this at the time...but yes they rule completely

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@Liamjsm so it's a "they made the whole airplane out of the black box" situation...got it, yes, agreed

[Stu Watson @stuwatson]

@Liamjsm ah got it, my mistake!
