favorite del bar: And when one shows he posed threat to this one
This one will make that one into none
Simple equation, zero, you shouldn’t play hero
If you can’t stand strong like the island I’m from

Long Live Giles Li!

yoooooooo. i’ve thought about this statement before– glad to hear someone articulate it.

i agree. shit that is ambitious as hellll deserves serious respect. and for that i’ll concede your point— and raise you: http://www.thefallthemovie.com

but when acid trip tango came on man, that- the way tim/malaya captured through his voice the story behind the words- that kind of craftsmanship- purely on a performance level, he could have been reading out of a telephone book and it would’ve been profound. of all the pieces by other poets that i’ve memorized, like your piece “woman,” that was the first one i committed to memory. it was the one i learned the craft of performance off of. when malaya performs, his words have arms, and they gesture. you see it, hear it, feel it.

or some poems stand out in context- like when bao read “you bring out the vietnamese in me” to a texas audience of mainly viet students- who’ve never been part of the east coast circuit, and experiencing the surge of energy as they fed off the piece- man, it’s the ones, though the artist themselves may get tired of, the ones that stand the test of time-

NORTH: adaptation is dope – and yeah it’s a funny thing with synechdoche – i didn’t “like” it as much as like a lot of other movies, but what i appreciated was that its failings were due to ambition not execution…i guess iw as taken by the fact that it aimed for meta and micro simultaneously and didn’t really get there. in my mind, it’s a glorious mess.
