shut up craner all must buy yellow book

 

[Benny Bunter]

I'm so gonna buy it soon. I got sucked into buying several large books of very difficult poetry over last few months from Luka and woops recommendations and it's opened up whole new worlds to me so I trust them on this.

Must admit that practically none of what of I've seen of Prynne posted on here has made any sense to me (and I hate reading poetry off a screen) but I reckon once I've got the actual book in my hands I'll get into it.

 

[craner]

So be it Benny, but don't say I didn't warn you.

 

[Benny Bunter]

How many people here actually own this thing?

 

[craner]

Pretty much everybody apart from me, Thirdform and Corpsey.

Just Craner. He pretends everyone else fell for it too to make himself feel better.

I was in Hay-on-Wye today looking through all the bookshops and found myself staring at this in horror:

 

[luka]

version has 2 copies. jenks has 1.

william kent is eagerly awaiting his one. mvuent is the proud owner of one. he reads it every day like his psalms.

I find the fact you all openly admit you haven't got a clue what Prynne's on about most of the time reassuring somehow.

that's the whole point of prynne

 

[Benny Bunter]

Like mvuent was saying, there's got to be something in it

and thirdforms blind. if there was a braille edition he'd own it.

 

[craner]

Like mvuent was saying, there's got to be something in it

There is, £25

 

[woops]

Like mvuent was saying, there's got to be something in it

there's way too much in it from one point of view

 

[luka]

if youre thick like Craner you can stick with your Martin Amis novels but brainboxes read Prynne, the last adventure left in literature.

yes, prynne and his pubishing cronies are definitely running a profitable high modernist poetry confidence trick. they must be coining it lol.
