Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Big Other, Greg Gerke, John Madera, Wallace Stevens on November 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Here’s a response to Greg Gerke’s post about the the titles of Wallace Stevens’s poems.

re: Jimmy Chen’s (very funny) obit for this site, and some comments made there by my friends Tadd Adcox and Rebekah Silverman, not to mention Big Other’s recent one-year anniversary, I thought I’d take some time and a post to perform some autocritique.

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Greg Gerke, J. A. Tyler, the dominant, Walking" on May 19, 2010 | 70 Comments »
This follows J. A.’s post here, which sprang out of conversation here; it’s also motivated by Greg’s recent post about Rilke. In all three places, I’ve been criticizing some “dominant values” in US culture and small-press culture: There’s nothing inherently wrong with celebrity. There’s nothing inherently wrong with youth.

He wrote and directed nine films from 1959-1984 so fearless and individual (he is credited with three others but they were not from [...]
