Off-topic, too, but if you want to see just how twisted and surreal academia can get, check out Prof. Darrel Hamamoto’s “work”:

Andy/??????????? ????:

That was an interesting (if off-topic) article that you linked to on English Department petty politics, by the way.

“I find it outrageous that poets anywhere in the world need official permission to meet other poets.”

Why? Being a poet gives you a license to be above other people? This is NK where KJI can execute entire village if he wants to. Or, make every girl in the region to be his concubine.

He is a god. He or his peon can kill you easily.

Have you heard about “Dead Poet’s Society”?

Anybody have a link to English translations of nork poetry? I can almost imagine it already, but I’d like to see some. I doubt it’s anything like, say, Paul Celan’s:

“A word - you know:
a corpse.

Let us wash it,
let us comb it,
let us turn its eye
towards heaven.”
