Two Essays

Two essays for thought...

1.) "Is Poetry a Job, Is a Poem a Product?" by Murat Nemet-Nejat

Not your typical why-can't-poets-make-money type of whiny essay, he draws some really cool parallels between poetry and money, observations about class, and audience.

2.) "Sucking" by Ariana Reines

Went to see her read this past week, and came across this essay when I googled her beforehand. Intelligent, funny, personal. I like what she says about shit. And the French.
