It was reading Bloom's literary criticism that turned me onto Hart Crane. I didn't know him from Adam before that. I remember a poem called The Bridge, I think, and another great poem about a tower. No doubt, he had a lyrical gift. Didn't he jump off a ship and get chewed up by its its props?
And that is a Romantic point of view. It's also a Nazi point of view.
. . . I love Bloom because of Hart Crane And William Blake.
My library started throwing away books a few years ago. And I stole everything, the first thing I did, was steal everything by Crane and Blake.
And this is after they destroyed my beloved fairy book.
I wrote a poem about it called Genet's Library. You know who Genet was? Yep, that poem is a confession.
It's a confession. And I've never published it. Despite the fact that I'm on here every day confessing everything I do.
You can't hate me more than I hate myself. I win.
