I hardly know this kid. He’s good though. His voice changes with every frickin poem. It’s crazy.

Sometimes I don’t understand so much that I can’t even ask questions because I don’t even understand what it is that I don’t understand.

Bluebird by Charles Bukowski
there’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I’m too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I’m not going to let anybody see you. there’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pur whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he’s in there. there’s a bluebird in my heart...

wordpainting:
Ben Marcus [author of this article] defends experimental fiction against critics, Jonathan Franzen in particular, who disparage it.
If not the best novelist of his generation, then certainly the most anxious—eager for fame, but hostile to the people who confer it—Jonathan Franzen has excelled most conspicuously at worrying about literature’s potential for mass entertainment. It’s a...

I also say “Thank you” at the end of every...

Finished Then We Came to the End, by Joshua Ferris yesterday. This was my first rendezvous with Ferris. A friend of mine gave me the book, said it was a must read, especially with my new office involvement. I must say, I did not expect to laugh so much. I don’t read many here-and-now, contemporary American novels. This was a nice, light break from my usual agenda. Picture the...
Probably gunna regret making this thing. I’m already posting a million times to try to cover up previous posts. I just kinda dove right in here. I have commitment issues.
