		<title>Literature in the Land of the Inherently Cute</title>
		<description><![CDATA[- the search for literary crisis (Practically) all political writing engages in representation and a form of adjudication – i.e. “picking a side”. Classic social realist writing of capitalist societies not only represents the exploited classes, but furthermore represents them against their mortal enemy, the bourgeoise classes; nationalist literature not only represents a certain land [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the hostile takeover of triviality in popular media and popular art, perhaps poets have forgotten about fun, about charm, about joy, about attitude, about intensity, about popular iconoclasm, about naughty words, about the beautiful horniness — and driven anything that might attract an audience looking for something other than (supposed) supreme intelligence out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Art of Any Impact</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most important thing to keep in mind during a fistfight (or while writing a poem) isn&#8217;t what to do with your arms and knuckles, but where to place your feet. If you keep them too close together, you&#8217;re liable to fall over – and if you keep them too far apart you leave your [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is Your Brain on Crack Cocaine</title>

		<title>So is The Wasteland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, alright, I’ll admit it: I don’t understand most poetry. It baffles me. I read it, shaking my head and scowling. I don’t even understand my own poetry. Objectively speaking, most of it’s just nonsense – like how many ‘P’s or ‘S’s can I fit into a sentence? How about if I jumble up the [...]]]></description>
