I dropped his name because his thoughts fit right here into it.
Ok with you?
Jean Genet: Miracle de la Rose. You read it? I commmend it.
As I see it then (ignoring your ignorance because I am just as ignorant as you claim to be) I really wish there s a translation into English of Miracle de la Rose, pretty tough stuff, but and because of that: highly readable)
As to name dropping: It is not my intent to impress. I use ideas from those people I quote. (it is between not me and the reader of my poetry, but between me and the owner of those ideas) You see, I could retell their ideas but bc I am a poet, I will and must short cut as best I can.
Still : I am myself not satisfied with all my quoting.
I am NOT an eclectic poet. I do not borrow for nothing.
I quote because I build my metaphors on the shoulders of those who were earlier than me.
But they are mine (my lil cuties) ;-)
cheers man
sorry for my diction but I read too m uch Dickens this week. I ll recover. I promise.
