RayPride: Define “movie” by paraphrasing Randall Jarrell’s definition—"The novel is a prose narrative of some length that has something wrong with it”—then you could apply the word to the feature-length hapless farragos defecated by the untalented, pardoned election felon.

jlorts: From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose. --Randall Jarrell

neilsonandrew: Randall Jarrell introduced EB to RL in 1947. Lowell described that first meeting: “[we were] swimming in our young age, with the water coming down on us, and we were gulping” Which is as good a metaphor for young poets clashing together as I can imagine (I may have been there).

LaurenceFoshee: I think a nice, relaxed "challenge" for me as my advanced ENG coursework begins to roll in, would be to pick out a poem a week from my "contemporary poets" shelves, and write a bit what I think about it...maybe in the vein of Randall-Jarrell-style close reads or essay mimicks...
