I like this reply, even if Dr. Nowzaradan would ask who my enabler is.

What we are seeing right now is a gross intensification of capitalist logic in which there are even fewer winners. It’s those who are made uncomfortable by this intensification of disparity and exploitation who would call this neofeudalist, a nostalgia for the good old days of benevolent capitalism.

I'm planning to use Guillory's new book On Close Reading & associated website; & one of my anchor theoretical works will be Caroline Levine's Forms. I'll use other short manifestos on form by various poets.

My biggest issue is with how much poetry there is that I would love to teach, but it's only a 6-week class; & I'm trying to get my head around the shape & how to organize the course. That's where a focus on theoretical approaches to Formalisms (Old, New, different forms, etc.) might help.

Don’t forget the Feds threatening Aaron Swartz with 35 years in jail for downloading—academic papers. So he killed himself. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_S...
