In a 'flat' way I was trying to get something of the twists and curiosities John Ashbery has done so very, very well.<br /><br />(Wit and message! Some people have occasionally credited me with the former, but rarely see in me someone with an idea. I like you in the audience!)<br /><br />TfoolTrulyfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13385653066007723233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673238941836727429.post-89110557289983774392010-11-29T12:42:40.024-08:002010-11-29T12:42:40.024-08:00a tale packed with wit and message.

I've had a mannerism in the past of 'going ironic' which too often sounds either bleak or cynical. My outlook aims for neither of those attitudes. So I'm trying to leaven facticity with -- how shall I put this without sounding the dodo? -- 'human spirit'.<br /><br />There. I said it.<br /><br />Trulyfool<br />(P.S. Thanks re: Dietrich.

The piece has<br />a muscular feel, kind of Raymond<br />Chandler, as well as a spicing of<br />Hemingway macho, as well as<br />Sartre moxie. Really enjoyed it.<br />Liked the line /but the impress<br />of big light/ kicking us into an<br />ethereal realm too.Glenn Buttkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680725814199700692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673238941836727429.post-19928884506841031052010-11-27T02:31:18.012-08:002010-11-27T02:31:18.012-08:00Man that's Fine!
