A Blurb For An Unpublished Book
He utterly rejects the easy irony and flattening of affect so endemic to the contemporary poetry scene, a scene increasingly peopled by young, earnest poets who are way hipper than you.
"I am an idealistic, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritually motivated artist, unschooled in the science of law and finance." --Wesley Snipes

Are you trying to say that Ben Lerner is hipper than me? I did see him at the Black Dice show at Northsix and he was wearing this awesome vintage Testament T-shirt, too-tight Levis, a trucker hat and Asics. Now that is one hip mofo!
I said not a thing about Ben Lerner.
However, when I read this comment I said aloud to myself, "Holy Cow!"
Why? Because I was just listening to Testament a minute ago--"Disciples of the Watch."
Love,

Wow, you and Ben Lerner must be meant for each other.
No. Uh-uh. See, I'm pretty sure that, t-shirt or not, Ben Lerner doesn't actually listen to Testament like I do.
