cool poems. my intro history classes were the only courses that talked about the various indian groups in the americas, but they never fully explored all the cultural aspects of those tribes. i'm not sure if they even offer classes here that focus solely on them.

my hatred for poetry has waned some. i've found interest in blake recently and although howl is good, i'd have to disagree with parker. it's excessively long like lord byron's don juan or any of milton's tedious bullshit, which are poetic stories and not poems. in that aspect, howl fortunately differs. but true poetry should be ambiguous and concise. my conclusion: thank god for short stories.

ambiguous and concise...totally.

i like short stories because they sum up your intentions briefly and concisely, as poetry does. i pretty much equally enjoy writing both.
