>>25250158I read Crush by Richard Siken a few days ago and liked it a lot, but it is very very gay.
>>25250158My good friend Tommy Pinecone can write a mean verse when he tries
>>25250158I have kind of started to suspect the advent of recorded music has kind of folded lyric poetry back into the medium from which it came. It has the obvious advantage that outside of meter and rhyme, artists now also have vocal pitch and intonation to convey emotion with. Obviously (much like most poems at the height of written poetry's popularity) a lot of lyrics are pretty bad, but i also think that almost all of the strongest poetic experiences and memories people have is through song lyrics. Compared to a song lyric, how many people do you know that can immediately recall a poem that made them cry?
>>25250158Fuck your lecture on craft. My people are dying :^)
>>25250385came here to post Richard Siken

>>25250158Larry Levis
>>25252310I like Levis' poetry a lot, but he died before 2000. Can't call him 21st century.

decent album OP.- for /mu/. pity you dropped it into /lit/ like a faggot instead of Curtis' superior work.
>>25252406Fine, AR Ammons then
Bumping with James Tate. More of a 20th century poet, but I do love some of what he published after 2000 (though his later style veered away from straight poetry).
>>25252444>t.
>>25252444not op but ian curtis wasn't on that album. JD and NO both great but NO is way better imo
>>25252481>all of his work publised in 20th century>d. 2001you’re a fag
