When emily dickinson's poems were published in the 1890s, they were a best-seller; the first book of her poems went through eleven editions of a print run of about 400. so the first print run out of boston for a first book of poems was 400 for a country that had fifty million people in it. now a first print run for a first book is maybe 2,000? so that's a five-time increase in the expectation of readership. probably the audience is almost exactly the same size as it was in 1900, if you just took that one example.

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.

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.
Good Love Writing Political
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.

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

There is a wonderful hungarian literature, especially in lyric poetry.
Lyric Poetry Literature Wonderful
We'd like to just write nothing but lyric poetry. the trouble is, the individual is going along intent on his own personal gratifications and love affairs and financial affairs and everything else. but loping alongside him is this fascist lout who keeps trying to take over. and if you keep ignoring him, he gets bigger and bigger, so every once in a while the free individual has to turn away from his private pursuits and give this fascist lout a few clouts, and beat him down to size.
Writing Lyric Poetry Giving
It is no longer possible for lyric poetry to express the immensity of our experience. life has grown too cumbersome, too complicated. we have acquired values which are best expressed in prose.
