I am baited on a daily basis to click on a New York Post link. Every time I bite I end up feeling like I need to take a shower.
Jennifer, I would think you would be more adept at putting things in context (although your sudden appearance here has reminded me of your politics ). But in this instance you seem to not hear what she is saying. And I don't get the glibness and the condescension. We are trying our best to avoid a catastrophe. Why would you fan the flames?
"She is straight up saying poets have no understanding, either of language or of its psychological effects, and that we are not even a part of 'real' culture."
Get a grip, Jenn. You are better than those paranoid, distorted translations of her words.
