Comments on This Is a Post about Poetry, and It's Long, So Those People Who Hate Everything Should Just Keep Scrolling

She has a wonderful back.

Amusing take on that back:

Nice use of bolding.

Thanks for the suggestion to scroll down and skip this long post.

Im glad I did, poetry sucks.

Cristopher- sorry this is unrelated, but thanks for your "Stranger suggest" reading by Gary Shteyngart.

You nailed it. It was, without a doubt, one of the best readings I’ve ever attended. I just wish it had been longer.

I have him down as one of the funniest readers along with Salon’s super funny Cintra Wilson and Uruguay’s witty political writer Eduardo Galeano.

McHugh is the shizznatch, and also a hell of a lot of fun to see live. This is rare - most poets, even terrific ones, are kind of boring live. McHugh is funny and wry and all over the place, throwing the poems at you in quick succession until you are overwhelmed.

GodDAMN that was long. It took forever to scroll past.

It is true I've attended readings by more than a few poetry tools.

As soon as I read the word poetry I skipped over the whole thing. What was it about again?
