"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"
--Kenneth Koch
“El subtítulo ‘Modelo para armar’ podría llevar a creer que las
diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables.”
Ugh, isn't that another version of what Gary Sullivan was arguing against in Chris Daniels' piece on Kent's chapbook: it can't simply be a case of taste, but it's got to be some kind of self-defense/self-loathing.
If you don't like Kent's chapbook, it's because you see yourself as implicated. If you dig Dylan, it's because you want to be him and not yourself. Like the predetermined outcome of self-loathing + exposure to Dylan would = Dylan worship. Hatred and indifference to Dylan could be pinned under the same charge.
