My, my, my. Why must modernist poets talk nonsense? Does it REALLY have to be quite so "out there" for people to understand the deeper meaning? I know that you have an agenda, but does it have to include extremely obscure references and a bunch of nonsensical words? What happening to making poetry rhyme? What happened to beautiful imagery? Why does vomitting seems to be a part of nearly everything these days? I don't want to read about vomit, or feces, or abortion, or any other number of depressing things. No wonder the suicide rate is so gosh darn high.
News flash: You can be a modernist poet and still write about injustice and intolerance and the bleakness of the world in general, if you feel so inclined, but please, please...let's leave the vomit out of it.
