More From Thom Gunn

Robert frost says in a piece of homely doggerel that he has hoped wisdom could be not only attic but laconic, boeotian even - "at least not systematic"; but how systematically frostian the worst of his later poems are! his good poems are the best refutation of, the most damning comment on, his bad: his complete poems have the air of being able to educate any faithful reader into tearing out a third of the pages, reading a third, and practically wearing out the rest.

I think people are born bisexual and the make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. i have no question in my mind about being bisexual. but i'm also a hypocrite: i would never date a girl who is bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that i'd never sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

But carroll's were more convoluted, and they struck me as funny in a new way: 1) babies are illogical. 2) nobody is despised who can manage a crocodile. 3) illogical persons are despised. therefore, babies cannot manage crocodiles. and: 1) no interesting poems are unpopular among people of real taste. 2) no modern poetry is free from affectation. 3) all of your poems are on the subject of soap bubbles. 4) no affected poetry is popular among people of taste. 5) only a modern poem would be on the subject of soap bubbles. therefore, all your poems are uninteresting.
