  2. Ha! I meant to ask you if the "quit bogarting" in your class play was a Reality Bites reference. Or maybe "quit bogarting" is just what Georgians say?!

  4. No reality Bites ref, just me and Humphrey Bogart and a cheese-steak on a friday night, also, I'm high in this story.

  5. THANKS FOR THE LINK. Paratext, motherfuckers.

    I'm amused by the article blithely lumping together an Anthony Hecht poem about some (homoerotic, Nazi-esque?) jocks assaulting a (maybe gay?) kid, a Frank Bidart poem about a serial killer necrophiliac, and the filmic impersonation of Allen Ginsberg as "gay poetry."
