Writing poetry, reading poetry: these are ethical activities when all is said and done, concerned with our mode of being. And as long as we are being beings the only being we impoverish by not writing poetry is our own

But a basic law of economics
That makes poetry seem irrelevant
#Ruby25 #RyanRuby #ContextCollapse
"A piece of paper has a definite economic value,” he says, quoting Roof publisher James Sherry. "If you print a poem on it, this value is lost."

Compared to film, painting, sculpture, and music, literary genres in general require minimal capital outlay, and lyric, in particular, being brief, is far less time- and labor-intensive than the drama, short story, or novel.

Craig Dworkin estimates
That by the first decade of the twenty-first
Century, over one thousand book-length
Collections of "serious" poetry
Were being cranked out in the US per Annum.

A friendly takeover ostensibly Undertaken in the name of a certain Oft-neglected external stakeholder Some in the movement liked to call the reader.

Era of information overload
#Ruby25 #RyanRuby
"whatever else hysteria may be... is a disease of the attention
"Everybody," as Stein was to observe in Wars I Have Seen, her last published text, "gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense."

You disagree?

In his review of Composition as Explanation, Eliot wrote: "If [Stein] is of the future, then the future is... of the barbarians." He would not have been wrong had he instead written: of the bots.

Between these tendencies, one could be found
In the writings of Gertrude Stein, who ought-
More than Joyce, Proust, Kafka, or even Pound-
To be regarded as the century's Preeminent literary figure.

For their "primitivist" rites of renewal, Force language in the opposite direction:

Even when the signals sent
Can only be received as intended
By a self-selecting semipublic-
A caste of fellow poets,connaisseurs,
Professional critics, and, professors Its portfolio is still diversified,
As it retains investments in rhetoric.

Of what was not yet called the "Song of Myself,"
Was less a "multitude" than (sub)triune,
A reductio ad individuum

only to learn, much to their Disappointment, how poorly Roman masks Fit onto Hanoverian faces;
Those who could afford to buy their journals Learned just how quickly an empty stomach Curdles Panegyric into Philippic.

When would-be immortals wrote to preserve
Their Names from the obliterations Time
Would visit on their bodies, while defending
Their corpora from what the satirist Martial termed the kidnapping of verses. #plagiarism

Surveillance exerts gravitational
Pull on style, alienating it slightly
From the regular orbits of rhetoric,
As poets, secure in the knowledge that
Their readers would be able to return
Over and over again to printed
Copies of their books

Thereby rendering Olson's claims about the EAR and the BREATH and the SYLLABLE and the LINE in his essay " Projective Verse"
Doubly anachronistic.

“the HEAD, by way of the EAR, to the SYLLABLE
the HEART, by way of the BREATH, to the LINE”

Mallarmé's 1897 poem Un coup [D]e dés jamais n'abolira le hasard- (A throw of the dice will never abolish chance)
Is sometimes credited with establishing
The page as poetry's basic unit
