OK. To be fair,
Anis Shivani is actually asking if poetry is at a "dead end," which is not
exactly the same question. It is, however, just as tiresome.
More later, I'm sure. Save to say, I'm terribly,
terribly bored with the same "provocative" questions being asked over and over again. They really
do stop being provactive after awhile, and instead serve to keep conversations at a stand still.
As the English Beat once sang, "
How come the feeling that it's always just started?" I'm burning out on hotshot literary critics and essayists who have a platform and yet can't think of anything more interesting to do with it than pose the same questions over and over again.
ETA: Link fixed!
