Now my own ideas are being filtered through the faux-Bronk style. I cannot any longer formulate my own idea for a poem, because it all comes out in that mode. But when I go back to read Bronk, his poems seem quite unlike my own; they are more ponderous, heavier. My knock-offs seem flippant in contrast.
That is probably a good thing. At some point I will return to my usual style.
Poets. I discovered another one I did not know, who seems better. http://www.laotrarevista.com/2016/11/javier-taboada-mexico-1982/
ReplyDeleteAlso connected to UGR. What is it about that place?
I can't say I'm crazy about this one. He seems a little cliché to me.
ReplyDeleteYes, but not as wordy, which is why I say a little bit better. But my thought is, UGR is a magnet for these cliché poets nowadays.
ReplyDeleteThis Taboada works with Rothenberg and I am grateful to them at the moment since they like my Moro things. That's how I learned about him. Quand même.
