Oh,
to be in England! Poetry and Self-Pity
This essay is by Theodore Dalrymple, from the winter 1998 City Journal.
Dalrymple is the pen name of Dr Anthony Daniels; his most famous work is
Life at the Bottom. You may
also enjoy What's
Wrong with Twinkling Buttocks?, his summer 2003 article. In case you're
wondering, the title is taken from Lawrence's oh-so-horrible Lady Chatterley's
Lover.
Boston Comment
Joan Houlihan has a series of articles at WebDelSol which explore the state
of contemporary poetry. Yes, she has lots of fun at the expense of bad poets.
But she loves poetry and makes cogent points about its sad decline.
Can Poetry
Matter?
This is Dana Gioia's influential and controversial 1991 article for The
Atlantic Monthly. I'm not quite sure why it's considered controversial myself,
but that's the general consensus.
Andrew
Bird performs 'A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left'
A link to various live performances of a great song. Modern poetry is almost
uniformly lousy, but luckily we have wonderful songwriters like Bird as compensation.
Arts & Letters Daily
always has interesting links to follow.
Motorcycle.com has everything
you want to know (or didn't know you wanted to know) about - you guessed it
- motorcycles!
Visit Space.com if you, too,
like to occasionally wander outside with a telescope and curse the light pollution
which is the bane of modern life.
Turner Classic Movies
is what I watch while I'm working on this website. And it usually distracts
me from actually completing the work.
