"No defeat is made up entirely of defeat--since / the world it opens is always a place / formerly / unsuspected." - w.c.w. "The Descent" (or: unsettling motivation)

super excited to (un)officially announce my thesis topic. the gist is this: w.c.w., walt whitman, hayden carruth, and the poetry of stroke. #poetry #thesis | follow #ThesisSunday for updates on my shenanigans.

Louise Former US Poet Laureate James Tate also had a stroke. Might be of interest. Best of luck writing your thesis! (edited) 7y
utterKATEness @Louise Yes! Actually that's incredibly helpful! (I've spent more time than I care to admit trying to dig up names.) Thank you so much!! 7y
Louise You are very welcome! I had the great privilege of hearing Tate read both before and after his stroke. 7y
