Tao Lin Intern #19: March 2008

http://taolin19.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Tao Lin Intern #19. Or, what you will. Monday, March 10, 2008. Of Pigeons and Lightning. I had been sunk in short story/poetry land for so long that I forgot how glorious it is to read a novel. It's strange how it could take me a month to read a 250-page book of short stories, but I can read a 250-page novel in two days. Just finished The Invention of Everything Else. A thought Tesla has about humans - "I've forgotten the way their emotions leak out of them, muddying the air with sorrow, anger, joy.".

Tao Lin Intern #19: Singing of Myself

http://taolin19.blogspot.com/2008/01/singing-of-myself.html

Tao Lin Intern #19. Or, what you will. Friday, January 18, 2008. So I got the big Poetry Speaks: Expanded. Book for Christmas, which is thorough and fascinating and full of good stuff, even for people who think they've already had a pretty good introduction to the poets included in it. The thing that makes it the most awesome, obviously, is the ability to listen to the poets themselves read some of their poems, which is invaluable in a medium that's so sound-dependent. Breast that presses against other b...

Tao Lin Intern #19: Sean O'Brien

http://taolin19.blogspot.com/2008/01/sean-obrien.html

Tao Lin Intern #19. Or, what you will. Thursday, January 17, 2008. Just hit an unprecedented double. While at bat for poetry in the UK. Yeah, I know, that was my first response, too - Sean who. In the poetry category were published by small or independent presses! That's awesome in some senses, and depressing in others. Back to O'Brien, though. I really liked some of the things he was quoted as saying in this article. In the Times Online - especially this:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tao Lin Intern #19: Genius or Crazy Person?

http://taolin19.blogspot.com/2008/01/genius-or-crazy-person.html

Tao Lin Intern #19. Or, what you will. Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Genius or Crazy Person? I'm thinking about this again because I just read the Adam Gopnik article from TNY's October Arts Issue about "abridgment, enrichment, and the nature of art." He talks about the Orion abridged editions of classics like Moby-Dick. The real lesson of the compact editions is not that vandals shouldn't be let loose on masterpieces but that masterpieces are inherently a little loony. They run on the engine of their o...
