Literature Talk at the County Fair

[Thunderembargo]

I like the title, precisely because it only addresses and represents the idea of the poem (which is to impart criticism and a critical intellectual life to would-be pop consumers and shallow parvenus or dilletants or savants who have no working knowledge of contemporary literary thinking, development or progress by which to measure or understand the implicit criticism and list of critical writers which the poem imparts) i.e. might as well be at a county fair musing and reminiscing over one's own thoughts if there is no one to share them with---no body who has read Charles Bukowski!
