Those in whom she felt she would have less interest she arranged to meet on the Library's front steps.<br /><br />www.moore123.wordpress.comPangolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12532450653060884767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746549356331646438.post-61879338415293209272009-10-09T05:05:23.015-05:002009-10-09T05:05:23.015-05:00that's a long time ago. i read it before. nice...that's a long time ago. i read it before. nice story.denparserhttp://www.tv-survey.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746549356331646438.post-82324934212845699412009-10-05T08:42:54.118-05:002009-10-05T08:42:54.118-05:00Apropos this post I'm reminded of an essay by ...Apropos this post I'm reminded of an essay by Alfred Corn that I found online last month. He identifies and discusses a very interesting issue, the question of sincerity in poetry, and how he feels it is undermined by the problematic use, by some poets, of the poison pen (as it were) to conceal - while at the same time conveying to those 'in the know' - negative feelings towards a subject by the use of encrypted double meanings. In this regard, he discusses Elizabeth Bishop's barbed poetic missive whose concealed subject can be read to be Marianne Moore. <br /><br />(I am wracking my brain trying to remember the train of thought that led me to discover the piece, and I'll be embarrassed if it turns out that it was in direct connection with your excellent website!) <br /><br />http://www.drunkenboat.com/db8/panlitnonfiction/corn/using.htmljolanoreply@blogger.com
