I just found a book titled "Strange Bedfellows" by Steven Watson yesterday at Goodwill Thrift Store for 27 cents (normally a $20 oversized paperback) and it will be my main text for this month, National Poetry Month, as it is filled with poets from "the first American Avant-Garde", and as such is filled with poets from New York to Paris.

Essays, biographies, charts, maps of New York from a hundred years ago and earlier... like the Gangs of New York only poetry, art and music.

Great stuff, needless to say.

More on this shortly.

Nice section in the book Strange Bedfellows (And "The History of Modern Poetry", Page 311 by David Perkins, which is where Steven Watson seems to have gotten most of his information) about the movement that took off around 1910 (and not before in any major way, although the form can be traced back as far as Beowulf, the writer claims) the "Poets of Revolt" aka "Free Versers".

Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell seem to me to be the most famous poets of this group. In 1912, Pound wrote "I believe in /Absolute Rhythm/, that is [...] poetry that corresponds exactly to the emotion being expressed..."

The Poets of Revolt term was supposedly generic for the new poets, the writers of the 1910s also known as "free-versers" and vers librists, because they championed the rise of free verse, which replaced fixed stanzas, meter and rhyme with Absolute Rhythm, as Erza Pound called it.

In addition, there were other distinctive factions during 1910-1917 and beyond...

The Tramp Poets (!) aka Hobohemians, led by Vachel Lindsay, Harry Kemp and others, The Patagonians, Imagists and the Otherists all fit under the generic (and sometimes sneering) label of Poets of Revolt, the Free-Versers.

Poets loosely associated with these groups included:

Richard Aldington
Amy Lowell
Vacel Lindsay
Harry Kemp
Donald Evans
Allen Norton
Louise Norton
H.D.
Mirna Loy
William Carlos Williams
Alfred Kreymborg
Ezra Pound

In the Saturday Evening Post of April 7th 1917 Sinclair Lewis wrote:

"It is called /free verse/ because it doesn't pay."

And so it goes.

Nice section in the book Strange Bedfellows (And "The History of Modern Poetry", Page 311 by David Perkins, which is where Steven Watson seems to have gotten most of his information) about the movement that took off around 1910 (and not before in any major way, although the form can be traced back as far as Beowulf, the writer claims) the "Poets of Revolt" aka "Free Versers".
Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell seem to me to be the most famous poets of this group. In 1912, Pound wrote "I believe in /Absolute Rhythm/, that is [....] poetry that corresponds exactly to the emotion being expressed..."
The Poets of Revolt term was supposedly generic for the new poets, the writers of the 1910s also known as "free-versers" and vers librists, because they championed the rise of free verse, which replaced fixed stanzas, meter and rhyme with Absolute Rhythm, as Erza Pound called it.
In addition, there were other distinctive factions during 1910-1917 and beyond...
The Tramp Poets (!) aka Hobohemians, led by Vachel Lindsay, Harry Kemp and others, The Patagonians, Imagists and the Otherists all fit under the generic (and sometimes sneering) label of Poets of Revolt, the Free-Versers.

Yes, really.

When you're incapable of using a common word like "fantasy" correctly, you qualify as being profoundly illiterate.

When you're incapable of understanding why your use of it was incorrect -- especially after having has various writers explain it to you -- you're incompetent as well.

Daydreaming about the death of another man, is definitely not reality... thus, it's a fantasy.
Spin it how you want but the fact remains... it's a morbid fantasy about death.
1) It is not a daydream.
2) "Fantasy" does *not* mean "not reality."

Here is Merriam-Webster's definition:

1: something that is produced by the imagination : an idea about doing something that is far removed from normal reality
EX: His plans are pure fantasy.
He can hardly tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
His plans are just fantasies.
Her fantasy is to be a film star.
romantic/sexual fantasies

The operative words in the above definition are "about doing something."

For example: If I were to say that I'd like to tie you to a tree, pour a can of gasoline over you, and set you on fire, I would be fantasizing.

If, otoh, I were to tell you to "Die in a fire," I would not be indulging in a fantasy.

The difference is in the act of *doing.* In the first example, I imagine how I would bring about your death, and perhaps, even imagine the particulars of your death as well: burning flesh, etc. In the second example, I am merely issuing a directive.

Looks great with so many of my favorite poets in it...
Yes, a great perspective into a long bygone era.
They set so much in motion...
The modern era of poetry itself.
Die in a fire.
Again, Pendragon, spin it as you please, but the statement is obviously a wish for my death... a fantasy.
Wishing for someone's death and fantasizing about someone's death are two very different things
Not really.
Yes, really.

Again, a fantasy involves an act of imagination on the part of the person doing the fantasizing.

Wishing you were dead and fantasizing about your death (imagining the details of your death) are two very different things.

You need to learn what words mean and how to use them properly.

I don't see how you can engage in a conversation with an educated person, much less claim to be a writer, if you don't understand what common words mean.

Nice section in the book Strange Bedfellows (And "The History of Modern Poetry", Page 311 by David Perkins, which is where Steven Watson seems to have gotten most of his information) about the movement that took off around 1910 (and not before in any major way, although the form can be traced back as far as Beowulf, the writer claims) the "Poets of Revolt" aka "Free Versers".
Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell seem to me to be the most famous poets of this group. In 1912, Pound wrote "I believe in /Absolute Rhythm/, that is [....] poetry that corresponds exactly to the emotion being expressed..."
The Poets of Revolt term was supposedly generic for the new poets, the writers of the 1910s also known as "free-versers" and vers librists, because they championed the rise of free verse, which replaced fixed stanzas, meter and rhyme with Absolute Rhythm, as Erza Pound called it.
In addition, there were other distinctive factions during 1910-1917 and beyond...
The Tramp Poets (!) aka Hobohemians, led by Vachel Lindsay, Harry Kemp and others, The Patagonians, Imagists and the Otherists all fit under the generic (and sometimes sneering) label of Poets of Revolt, the Free-Versers.

Again, Pendragon, spin it as you please, but the statement is obviously a wish for my death... a fantasy.
Wishing for someone's death and fantasizing about someone's death are two very different things
Not really.
Yes, really.
Again, a fantasy involves an act of imagination on the part of the person doing the fantasizing.
Wishing you were dead and fantasizing about your death (imagining the details of your death) are two very different things.
You need to learn what words mean and how to use them properly.
I don't see how you can engage in a conversation with an educated person, much less claim to be a writer, if you don't understand what common words mean.
Michael Pendragon
“You may be thinking of Henry David Theroux, who lived On Walden Pond.”
-- Will Dockery, feigning literacy
Dockery should be pistol-whipped, fantasy or wish?
Neither.

That's an observation of fact.

Nice section in the book Strange Bedfellows (And "The History of Modern Poetry", Page 311 by David Perkins, which is where Steven Watson seems to have gotten most of his information) about the movement that took off around 1910 (and not before in any major way, although the form can be traced back as far as Beowulf, the writer claims) the "Poets of Revolt" aka "Free Versers".
Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell seem to me to be the most famous poets of this group. In 1912, Pound wrote "I believe in /Absolute Rhythm/, that is [....] poetry that corresponds exactly to the emotion being expressed..."
The Poets of Revolt term was supposedly generic for the new poets, the writers of the 1910s also known as "free-versers" and vers librists, because they championed the rise of free verse, which replaced fixed stanzas, meter and rhyme with Absolute Rhythm, as Erza Pound called it.
In addition, there were other distinctive factions during 1910-1917 and beyond...
The Tramp Poets (!) aka Hobohemians, led by Vachel Lindsay, Harry Kemp and others, The Patagonians, Imagists and the Otherists all fit under the generic (and sometimes sneering) label of Poets of Revolt, the Free-Versers.
Richard Aldington
Amy Lowell
Vacel Lindsay
Harry Kemp
Donald Evans
Allen Norton
Louise Norton
H.D.
Mina Loy
William Carlos Williams
Alfred Kreymborg
Ezra Pound
"It is called /free verse/ because it doesn't pay."
And so it goes.
Histories of the best of poets... the modernists.....
https://books.google.com/books/about/Strange_Bedfellows.html?id=j98YAAAAYAAJ
Looks great with so many of my favorite poets in it...
Yes, a great perspective into a long bygone era.
They set so much in motion...
The modern era of poetry itself.
Die in a fire.
Indulge in these bizarre fantasies about death much, Alex?

I am reading up on just that... today...
******************************************************************
https://www.nps.gov/museum/tmc/CARL/CARL_AlwaystheYoungSeekers.html
“Throughout his childhood, Charlie slept to the pulsing rhythms of the trains coming and going through the prairie night. He sometimes amused himself at the depot watching trains bound to and from far places. He idled with hoboes and tramps who traveled furtively on the rods or the treacherous tops of freights and passenger cars…To Charlie, the railroad meant adventure, mystery, and possibility.” (p7-8, Niven)
Restless and eager for adventure, he embarked on a hobo journey in June of 1897. He traveled west by rail from Galesburg and worked from June to October in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska. He threshed wheat, harvested hay, washed dishes, worked on a railroad gang, and chopped wood. He was a seeker and an observer, stating in his autobiography, “What had the trip done to me? I couldn’t say. It had changed me… Away deep in my heart now I had hope as never before. Struggles lay ahead, I was sure, but whatever they were I would not be afraid of them.”
The Road and the End
I shall foot it
Down the roadway in the dusk,
Where the shapes of hunger wander
And the fugitives of pain go by…
…Regret shall be the gravel under foot…
The dust of the traveled road
Shall touch my hands and face.
Chicago Poems, 1916

Nice section in the book Strange Bedfellows (And "The History of Modern Poetry", Page 311 by David Perkins, which is where Steven Watson seems to have gotten most of his information) about the movement that took off around 1910 (and not before in any major way, although the form can be traced back as far as Beowulf, the writer claims) the "Poets of Revolt" aka "Free Versers".
Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell seem to me to be the most famous poets of this group. In 1912, Pound wrote "I believe in /Absolute Rhythm/, that is [...] poetry that corresponds exactly to the emotion being expressed..."
The Poets of Revolt term was supposedly generic for the new poets, the writers of the 1910s also known as "free-versers" and vers librists, because they championed the rise of free verse, which replaced fixed stanzas, meter and rhyme with Absolute Rhythm, as Erza Pound called it.
In addition, there were other distinctive factions during 1910-1917 and beyond...
The Tramp Poets (!) aka Hobohemians, led by Vachel Lindsay, Harry Kemp and others, The Patagonians, Imagists and the Otherists all fit under the generic (and sometimes sneering) label of Poets of Revolt, the Free-Versers.

"It is called /free verse/ because it doesn't pay."
And so it goes.
Histories of the best of poets... the modernists.....
I need to bring this book back down from the shelf soon.
Currently I'm reading "True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee" and rereading Jack Kerouac's "Vanity of Duluoz".
Stan The Man...!!
A good book, though much darker than most people would expect.
Interesting, I like those ole comix....
I just bought the Dr. Strange collection, 1963-66, good art and story.
Very cool work....!

Nice section in the book Strange Bedfellows (And "The History of Modern Poetry", Page 311 by David Perkins, which is where Steven Watson seems to have gotten most of his information) about the movement that took off around 1910 (and not before in any major way, although the form can be traced back as far as Beowulf, the writer claims) the "Poets of Revolt" aka "Free Versers".
Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell seem to me to be the most famous poets of this group. In 1912, Pound wrote "I believe in /Absolute Rhythm/, that is [...] poetry that corresponds exactly to the emotion being expressed..."
The Poets of Revolt term was supposedly generic for the new poets, the writers of the 1910s also known as "free-versers" and vers librists, because they championed the rise of free verse, which replaced fixed stanzas, meter and rhyme with Absolute Rhythm, as Erza Pound called it.
In addition, there were other distinctive factions during 1910-1917 and beyond...
The Tramp Poets (!) aka Hobohemians, led by Vachel Lindsay, Harry Kemp and others, The Patagonians, Imagists and the Otherists all fit under the generic (and sometimes sneering) label of Poets of Revolt, the Free-Versers.

"It is called /free verse/ because it doesn't pay."
And so it goes.
Histories of the best of poets... the modernists.....
I need to bring this book back down from the shelf soon.
Currently I'm reading "True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee" and rereading Jack Kerouac's "Vanity of Duluoz".
Stan The Man...!!
A good book, though much darker than most people would expect.
Interesting, I like those ole comix....
Likewise.
Quite so...
Good evening my friend, happy Thanksgiving to you and Mike.

One of the originators of the modern poetry form... A conversation with Beatrice Wood by Steven Watson



*************************Beatrice Wood was an American artist and studio potter involved in the Avant Garde movement in the United States; she founded and edited The Blind Man and Rongwrong magazines in New York City with French artist Marcel Duchamp and writer Henri-Pierre Roché in 1917.*****************

Nice section in the book Strange Bedfellows (And "The History of Modern Poetry", Page 311 by David Perkins, which is where Steven Watson seems to have gotten most of his information) about the movement that took off around 1910 (and not before in any major way, although the form can be traced back as far as Beowulf, the writer claims) the "Poets of Revolt" aka "Free Versers".
Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell seem to me to be the most famous poets of this group. In 1912, Pound wrote "I believe in /Absolute Rhythm/, that is [...] poetry that corresponds exactly to the emotion being expressed..."
The Poets of Revolt term was supposedly generic for the new poets, the writers of the 1910s also known as "free-versers" and vers librists, because they championed the rise of free verse, which replaced fixed stanzas, meter and rhyme with Absolute Rhythm, as Erza Pound called it.
In addition, there were other distinctive factions during 1910-1917 and beyond...
The Tramp Poets (!) aka Hobohemians, led by Vachel Lindsay, Harry Kemp and others, The Patagonians, Imagists and the Otherists all fit under the generic (and sometimes sneering) label of Poets of Revolt, the Free-Versers.

Amy Lowell

Mina Loy
William Carlos Williams
Alfred Kreymborg
Ezra Pound
"It is called /free verse/ because it doesn't pay."
And so it goes.
The book that nails it so well... I would like to borrow this one at one point or another.....
Sure, don't let someone else borrow it from you, though, I don't want to lose it.
:)
I do wish Loretta would come visit me and see my new tent....!
How
Loretta is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You are a FORGING fool....!
And now Pendragon actively defends them.
So it goes.
Could be because Pen is suspected of BEING a forger....
He DID get caught impersonating G.D. after all....
Pendragon goes out of his way to defend and encourage the forgers, also.

I just found a book titled "Strange Bedfellows" by Steven Watson yesterday at Goodwill Thrift Store for 27 cents (normally a $20 oversized paperback) and it will be my main text for this month, National Poetry Month, as it is filled with poets from "the first American Avant-Garde", and as such is filled with poets from New York to Paris.
Essays, biographies, charts, maps of New York from a hundred years ago and earlier... like the Gangs of New York only poetry, art and music.
Great stuff, needless to say.
More on this shortly.
htStrange Bedfellows: The First American Avant-Garde
by Steven Watson

Using characters ranging from Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein and Mabel Dodge to Marcel Duchamp, Margaret Anderson and the Stettheimer sisters, the author tells the story of the first American avant-garde in art, poetry and the theatre.tps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/749839.Strange_Bedfellows *************************
