Another typo, sheesh 😭
important that creating quality. Is art for art’s sake just not enough? Why or why not? And they do it in a way that questions what is apparent but often left unsaid. I think the biggest tell here with these poems is that while most readers/writers agree w/the sentiment in the

I don’t believe anyone is in the position to discuss quality and it’s not even a point I was trying to make. Art either speaks to you or it doesn’t. It’s the proverbial beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And, yes, to live in society is to participate in society.
hmm interesting to discuss "quality," idk if i'm the person who can say which poems are good and bad and I hate to be the guy popping out of the well in this meme but it's worth noting how actively the two gentleman are participating in the online clout game lol

“spark distinct conversations” 🗯️ 💓
Thank you for reading “The Bar Gets Raised” on @Plague_Circus

What is unconventional about @theoooeooo and Taylor’s poems is that they spark distinct conversations about what is art, why it’s valuable, the means of getting attention for your work, and whether to method of generating interest and that acquisition of prominence is more

🍒 read my poem “The Bar Gets Raised” today, from @Plague_Circus!
x.com/plague_circus/status/2…
The poem is meta but I disagree that @TaylorNapolsky puts the reader in a position to agree or appear fragile. Leaving disagreement unacknowledged in order to not seem bothered is a projection (and somewhat winds up validating whatever “assertions” are made in the piece.)

I apreciate the mature/optimistic approach to the matter ... like, this is all so very low stakes and people can just NOT be uptight and enjoy the sharing/reading/commenting for what it is. Feels like something important to clarify.
But I also think there's a "meta" level to all of this that wouldn't be present if @TaylorNapolsky or @theoooeooo had simply tweeted their ideas.
This was actually my first reaction to taylor's poem ... he kind of set a trap for the reader. There was no way to engage with his poem without basically folding and agreeing - in which case, is someone commenting the sort of customary "wow this is great" not just playing the exact game he's outlining and criticizing? And in the event someone were to "um, actually" the poem, they would just come across as ... fragile.
Then beyond that (I'm choosing my words carefully here), both of these poems are very *unconventional* (is it fair to say they could only exist in this online format?) and I don't quite know how that impacts the conversation.

poems created by @TaylorNapolsky and @theoooeooo they’re deflecting their own participation in this alt or online literary ecosystem of me, me, me, look at me. It’s normal to desire recognition & it’s normal to seek it.
