Eiji Tunsinagi is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm not gonna lie...I actually kind of liked this. I think it was a bit edging toward po-mo bullshit, but it held it's ground. It simply isn't my style of poetry. I'm big into the Billy Collins and Simic. I'm sure you know who they are, right GV? Or is it not AG enough for you?

Anyway, this was fine.

Lot of italics, don't you think?

If this is po-mo bullshit I'm gonna give up smoking and start wearing a dress.
I think it's got too much balls to be classed as po-mo. It's not 'genius', it's pretty contrived. Therefore not po-mo in the slightest. I like it's ballage though.

As a general observation of your work that I have seen, GV, the
element that really impresses to the point of people calling it genius, is your word usage. The words you choose just sound right and capture a mood of a phrase so well that even though a reader may not know what you're saying, they love the way you said it. If you choose to grab and twist a reader, they are grabbed and twisted.

You're no hack. You're very talented, probably too talented, which can make you sloppy, lazy, and/or bored.
