J. H. Prynne

[Benny Bunter]

I really buy into it, I think he nails it

 

[Benny Bunter]

Makes me want to go back and read the rest of wound response again and see what else I can pull out from it following his lead

All that stuff about bees in the first few letters is insane, no idea at all what they're on about but they seem to understand each other pretty well

 

[luka]

there's an enormous number of bees in Prynne, particularly lately. partly, it seems, as pun, be/bee, but there's more layers than that clearly.

 

[Benny Bunter]

And 'bean' as well, all that weird stuff he did with Ed Dorn

 

[luka]

thats right yeah

 

[Benny Bunter]

I said on here before that I thought that plant time manifolds thing was a massive pisstake/parody but now I'm not so sure

 

[luka]

no, it's definitely not.

 

[Benny Bunter]

It says that Tumblr post is gone now unfortunately

This is the best literature thread ever on dissensus. If you go back through it you can see a bunch of relatively thick/ignorant cunts grappling with the most difficult poetic material out there and actually doing alright. I think we can all pat ourselves on the back.

 

[Benny Bunter]

Reading back over it, I honestly think we've made small but significant inroads into more or less uncharted territory.

@sufi shell out some cash on a yellow slab

@Clinamenic forget about bitcoin and AI and indulge your human side

@suspended quit fucking around with Peli's theory of vibe and the Brooklyn brats and read some proper ENGLISH literature

@craner come down from your high horse and make the intelligent and learned contribution we all want

@Corpsey ...nevermind...

Do I have to go all the way back? Can I skip a bunch somewhere?

 

[Benny Bunter]

Buy the yellow book first!

 

[Benny Bunter]

Version and linebaugh have copies and made excellent posts early on in the thread and then nothing

Admittedly it's a lot of catching up to do but no one on here will ever take your posts on the subject of poetry seriously unless you do it

My human side has been boiled down to an engram and then redeployed as a protocol.

I think if Benny B really cared about enlightening the philistines of the board, he would create a little syllabus for us. He'd say, pages 1-7 of the thread are absolutely essential as an introduction, pages 8-29 are football banter and can be ignored, and so on. But he isn't really concerned is he. He doesn't really care about fostering a spirit of socratic participation.

 

[Benny Bunter]

It's true, I don't really care. Good thread though.

 

[sus]

It makes me really sad how Benny doesn't want to help turn on new initiates to Prynne. It makes me feel like he doesn't care about Prynne at all, or even humanity!
