I just read ''Howl." "Hap" has been usurped. I've never read anything so famous that was this bad. In my opinion. I guess it comes down to how something moves you(or doesn't). Also I can't make any connection between myself and the poet. Except maybe that we both like jazz.
Speaking of music; does anyone know any poems offhand that describe music? I read a review recently on different wines and was amazed at the choice of adjectives and metaphors used. It would be interesting to read a well written poem describing a sonata or jazz performance. dj On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 9:43 AM, ornamentalmind <[email protected]> wrote: > > I concur w/Ian on those two.
