Poetry and the Masses

[rowens]

The avant garde that people talk about was based on Modern ideas. Movements in poetry and art were Modern ideas. Eventually everything gets absorbed into the mainstream and is utilized by the Establishment. People said Postmodern, then they said Post Postmodern. People say all sorts of things. Most of it is nonsense, the Establishment is nonsense, but it's Established nonsense. It's good or it's annoying. Most things are annoying for me, but I have drugs and alcohol so it's all right sometimes. When it's not all right, I write. I end up studying poetry incidentally.
