Comment that may or may not end up posted here--http://nonsite.org/editorial/would-vanessa-place-be-a-better-poet-if-she-had-better-opinions: This essay impresses me; and in some ways reminds me very much of Harold Bloom except he often elides the work of carefully explaining his reasoning.  It is nice to read a fully developed argument, not merely a series of declarations.

Homage Julie Carr, Lisa Robertson, Susan Tichy

Grows in gutter.  Grows gutter.  Grosses where one can
Flip page.  Sometimes forgotten.  Called spine.

This is to be totally.  Separate but so closely.  Soil from
Margin blown here.  Tug of utter.  Crocus gut.

Spine aligns runoff.  Offal mottles frontispiece dug
Out fosse gender flowers.  Unprovable taxonomy.

Economy axes.  Sparks fly.  Land.  Discipline.  And rescinds
When conjunction gluts.  Centrifugal convexly mirrored.

Stated again as styptic.  Poise.  Porous.  Lapse bells its
Broken law.  Haw firth howks.  Talons volts blanch.
