I just read the first chapter Loomings, and as an ESL, this will be hard.

I used to. Lost about 3 paperbacks that way. Fell asleep and dropped them.

What do you even write in a diary? My life is utterly pointless and boring. I copied a few poems I liked. Whats your diary about?

old = good

Why do so many old books end with the author putting the date they finished writing and the city they were writing in?

>Derrida and Foucault were, for example, barely repentant Marxists, if repentant at all. They parleyed their 1960’s bourgeoisie vs proletariat rhetoric into the identity politics that has plagued us since the 1970’s. Foucault’s fundamental implicit (and often explicit) claim is that power relations govern society. That’s a rehashing of the Marxist claim of eternal and primary class warfare. Derrida’s hypothetical concern for the marginalized is a version of the same thing. I don’t really care if either of them made the odd statement about disagreeing with the Marxist doctrines: their fundamental claims are still soaked in those patterns of thought.
>You can see this playing out in practical terms in fields such as gender studies and social work (as well as literary criticism, anthropology, law, education, etc.).

>I spent hours trying to understand this author, reading all his books, I dedicated my life, of course I agree with him now. No, it was not a waste of time.

> The view from the dirigible, Inconvenience, symbolizes Buddhist detachment from the battle (maya), which is elaborated by allusions to Tantra. The Trespasser, Ryder Thorn, preaches a social gospel to condemn the Chums of Chance for their dreamy detachment (p. 551). But the end of the novel endorses the Chums and the Tantric promise of the Inconvenience that floats above a violent world.

How are poems supposed to be recited? Do you say a sentence as it carries from one verse to another, or do you pause after each verse?
