She didn’t fare as well with later critics, but her popularity can be seen by the 1918 edition of Love Songs I own-it’s the fifth edition. During her lifetime, Teasdale’s poetry was broadly accepted by the public and critics alike. To read Love Songs today is to step backward in poetic time. It was there that, in 1917, she published Love Songs, which would win the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1918. Louis for a short time until they moved to New York City.

The idea is that you put in a few jazz chords, take out that tiresome riff and add a new one, get rid of the sub plot about the neighbour's wife's suspicions that her son was a rent boy - good god, that was terrible - increase the bpm by a little bit not too much. Yeah? Yeah! But why can't someone else come along & write their version of your story? This is what Kathy Acker was revolutionalistically suggesting by rewriting very badly Great Expectations.

Well, in my dream, then-San Francisco mayor Dianne Feinstein is running down that hill, except that when she falls, she has several compound fractures and all kinds of other horrific injuries. You remember how the sequence ran, right? – first Laura and Mary run down the hill, and then Carrie runs down the hill, but because she’s young and is wearing something that looks like a burlap sack, she falls down and gets back up. ![]() When I was very young – about two or three – I had a recurring dream about a hillside that looked exactly like the hillside in the opening credits of the TV series Little House on the Prairie. ![]() |
