Henry Gould's recent notes on poetry are dense, well thought out, useful. I would say this is a good use of blog. working out the central launch pad of poetry as he understands it. I wouldn't say he's being controversial here, but working out a problem due to intrinsic need. blogs are a place for that. there's a sense of ephemera with such writing. I know if my blog ever disappears, then it is gone: I am not saving it, it is writing on the wall. that transitoriness informs the writing, tho one can of course save one's posts. this is public mulling, should be respected as such. that this refers to he 'genre' here evoked, and to Henry's specific contribution.
