I think Plato would have been cozy with the thought that poets dip into The Well of Lost Poems by remembering them. I fear to imagine what the true Ideal Forms are of the stuff in the neighboring “Exquisite” threads. I and my wife went to a meeting of Andrei Codrescu and his crew of synchronized foot scrubbers two or three years back (maybe four), and were appalled by his rudeness to outsiders.
