Ressentiment

This same person on FB drumming up old gossip about Olson and Bishop also writes to wonder why X is not valued among post-avant poets. Well, because most poets are neglected by most people most of the time. I spend most of my days neglecting most poets.  

This person who shall not be named spends all his time and energy with old resentments. He even had a site called "dispatches from the poetry wars." Long ago I severed contact with this toxic individual. I see his FB posts only because he tags people in them that are also my FB friends. I don't say anything on FB about it, because that would just be stoking the fires of ressentiment. 

Even my objecting to this behavior is just my own manifestation of mala leche.
