Kenneth Goldsmith. That surname... it sounds so wondrously familiar...
Will do. I have a typically overly ironic attitude towards the literary humanities but I always thought it was because I was disdainful science-student. I'm glad there's someone else who's seen the 'encroaching' banal. There's also the nonsensically imaginative yet quite badly written fiction that you get in older children's/young adult writing today, something that I surmise really exploded post JKR, but that's another rant.

Friend, lend me your poetry! I won't rate it aloud if you don't want me to in any case. To be honest though, your portfolio does have more than a few little gems glistening to the skeptics such as moi, so I doubt I'd have a huge issue with it. It's more the quasi-spiritual, pseudo-gothic pap that gets to me. Harmless, inoffensive and oh so banal.
