OMG, first, you need to know I literally collapsed laughing at that "oowhoo". And I hadn't noticed that trend, but damn, when you're right, you're right. No one would laugh their ass off at that. No one. What, you think hard work is a GAME?
Being an editor is this weird position.
Oh man, YES. I'm obviously way more conditioned to like and embrace syntactical experimentation, but there's the flip side in poem world too, where people are like ENOUGH STOP ALREADY IS EVERYTHING A GIMMICK WITH YOU PEOPLE CAN'T YOU WRITE WITHOUT RESORTING TO CRAZY SHIT, and I find myself pinwheeling--to steal your phrase--between them both, as well. I'm currently way more interested in the way that tumblr-speech sprung up as a valid, poetic method of communication, than I am in some poetic works that break syntactical rules just to do it....but where is the line, Jarrah? WHERE???
