"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"

diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables.”

Zambrano and Lorca
I'm trying to forge a link between Zambrano and Lorca. I almost have it, but not quite. She sees him as a poet of sacrificial violence, so that's my starting point.
Aren't you afraid sometimes that people might steal your ideas? It was drummed into me in grad school never ever to discuss my ideas even with my best friend.
No. I have no fear of that. Ideas come at me all the time and I have plenty to spare. I even give away my excess ideas on the blog once in a while. I sometimes try to hide from the ideas so I don't get so many, but they end up finding me wherever I go. If someone else wants to write on Zambrano and Lorca, let them.
Of course, I am a full professor, so it's easy for me to say. Also, I know someone else wouldn't do with this idea what I would do with it. I'll be done with the book by the end of the year and I doubt anyone else could scoop me even if they tried.
