opposite of this where you think the author IS dead and you miss them. turns out they just haven't published anything in ten years. they're alive and well. on twitter.

You fucking wish the author was dead. The author is on twitter

Richard Siken continues to kill it on twitter. He just explained why his poetry is so popular in tumblr graphics - "you can take any of my quotes and apply them to any fandom or picture and they will work because they are sad and mopey and full of longing" and then proceeded to demonstrate this. With cat pictures. With lines of his poetry slightly altered to be lol cat speak.

(from his twitter thread here)

People are doing their own versions in response and he is complimenting them.
