adjacent to the annoying assumption seen on here that poetry necessarily contains some sort of (emotional) truth. is an equally annoying assumption that poetry is necessarily (morally) good/‘healing’/positive. like come on guys poetry can lie and also be evil
#evil jokingly but also non jokingly. like ‘ohhhh poetry will save us.’ <- google the italian futurists#which is just the first example to come to mind!!!#i’m also thinking abt the elision of moral (whatever that means. pyrrhonism beam) and emotional and qualitative ‘good’ re: poetry#but also i am currently so so grumpy and overstimulated so i will instead Log Off#beeps
