No grand conclusions yet, but I do worry about the parts of myself/my brain that I shut off at some point, saying, "Well, that's enough of that. I've heard the last thing I ever want to hear about that." With luck and grace, I've got a long life left, and it's much too early to start losing interest.Kristin Berkey-Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841824206762029363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-50863337192624180922010-03-09T18:58:48.863-05:002010-03-09T18:58:48.863-05:00It depends, I guess.

I don't know much about the Bloomsbury group, but amongst the Romantics & Victorians, not very many of the complications are interesting in a literary way. Mostly artists, as much as anyone else, simply play out the erotic scripts of their societies as given; and if you're not one of the players the scripts are awfully dull. Fall in love, fall out of love, seduce, betray, refrain, whatever.

And now I find interacting with POETRYWORLD on the internet is having much the same result on my writing. It's why I basically stopped writing about poetics on my blog. I got so tired of it all. I personally think reading about sex is much more interesting than reading about writerly issues. And I'm well past 21.<br /><br />RebeccaRadish Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534752971317927559noreply@blogger.com
