he's polycomprehensible

let's keep @Mr. Tea out of this discussion before he sees the word "fingered" in that last poem

 

[version]

Brass is infinitely better than white stones and kitchen poems, neither of which i really love. sometimes i think i hate them.

Brass is the one you told me to read first and I still haven't read it.

i hate disobedient and stubborn, willful people

 

[woops]

i reckon people should read first Kitchen Poems, Against Hurt, Break It, Of Sanguine Fire and the Plant Time Manifold Transcripts first. Just in case youre wondering.

 

[luka]

ive never read the plant time manifold. ive looked at bits of it but i cant be fucked reading it

it's only a few pages and it's full of jokes and i'm sure you have read it in fact

 

[woops]

This is genius!

look i've told you lot before don't say this kind of thing or @luka will get cross!

 

[luka]

i havent. its too dense.

 

[woops]

and anyway it's not genius, it's basic knowledge of prefix which is really not difficult,

lol

plus it's a greek prefix on a latin root so i send myself to the bottom of the class.

I think A Note on Metal and The Plant Time Manifold Transcripts were the first I read when I got the big book. I read To Pollen around that time too, but just read it online for some reason.

Is to pollen the one that people say is about the war in Iraq?

High Pink on Chrome was another I read early on. The title jumped out at me.

 

[luka]

it#s a great title. Ben Watson has the original and it looks really sexy

This bit from Plant Time Manifold... cracked me up,

"... invegitation (correction, investigation)... "
