    The Sprawling Beatsmith

    Profile Shot is a massive, stream-of-consciousness narrative memoir mimicking a walking tour of a faded, gritty mid-century American industrial town.

    Apparent Influences

    Bob Dylan, specifically his mid-60s surrealist narratives like Desolation Row; Allen Ginsberg, and Charles Bukowski. The recurring background gunshots, specific historical drop-ins: nineteen-eighty-five, Saint Mary's Road, Carver Heights, and casual grit are deeply rooted in the American Beat and folk-lyric traditions.

    The Critique

    Profile Shot is fascinating, gritty, and atmospheric, but it frequently loses its identity as poetry. Much of it reads as lineated prose - simply chopping a memoir sentence into tiny fragments. Yet, when it hits, it hits beautifully: the imagery of the Spiderweb of a city, the mad cult leader drawing energy from capsized tugboats, and dropping pages into a roaring creek are magnificent.

    Conversely, I Met A Girl takes a sharp, jarring turn into crude, hyper-literal sexual detail that lacks the poetic transformation seen in the rest of their work.

    They possess a phenomenal eye for Americana, grit, and cinematic memory, but lack structural discipline and consistent taste."

    The Sprawling Beatsmith

    Profile Shot is a massive, stream-of-consciousness narrative memoir mimicking a walking tour of a faded, gritty mid-century American
    industrial town.

    Apparent Influences

    Bob Dylan, specifically his mid-60s surrealist narratives like
    Desolation Row; Allen Ginsberg, and Charles Bukowski. The recurring background gunshots, specific historical drop-ins:
    nineteen-eighty-five, Saint Mary's Road, Carver Heights, and casual
    grit are deeply rooted in the American Beat and folk-lyric traditions.

    The Critique

    Profile Shot is fascinating, gritty, and atmospheric, but it
    frequently loses its identity as poetry. Much of it reads as lineated
    prose - simply chopping a memoir sentence into tiny fragments. Yet,
    when it hits, it hits beautifully: the imagery of the Spiderweb of a
    city, the mad cult leader drawing energy from capsized tugboats, and dropping pages into a roaring creek are magnificent.

    Conversely, I Met A Girl takes a sharp, jarring turn into crude, hyper-literal sexual detail that lacks the poetic transformation seen
    in the rest of their work.

    Thanks for reposting. It made me aware of "Profile Shot" which I missed earlier, though I see it's
    been on your blog for five years: That would indeed play a central role in a "Shadowville Mythos" book. https://shadowville-mythos.blogspot.com/search?q=Profile+Shot

    I notice that the review is based on just three poems, which
    (depending on the poems) could obviously bias the AI's response.
    I also notice that the AI commented on only two of them: "Profile
    Shot" and "I Met a Girl". Any idea what the third one was?

    Wake up, Donkey.

    You wrote that you reposted an error.

    Since that isn't what you meant to say, you're the only one who was confused.

    I've tried to explain the concepts of "subject" and "verb" to you in the past, but your utter lack of education makes it extremely difficult for me to get through to you.

    A sentence contains both a subject and a verb.

    The subject in your sentence is "error." The verb in your sentence is "was."

    "I corrected" are the subject and verb of a clause within your sentence, however, the main subject of your sentence remains "error."

    This is basic 4th grade level syntax. You should know this.

    Most ten year olds know this.

    When your writing reveals that you obviously do not know this, it makes you appear... stupid... pig ignorant... functionally illiterate.

    When you say that corrected and reposted an error, you are literally saying that you corrected the error only to replace the error.

    This is why people laugh at you.

    This is why your statement has become my latest sig.file.

    4th grade level grammar isn't that difficult to learn.

    Learn it.

    So you do have some understanding of basic grammar.

    You should try using it more often.

    Apparent Influences

    Bob Dylan, specifically his mid-60s surrealist narratives like Desolation Row; Allen Ginsberg, and Charles Bukowski.

    The Critique

    Profile Shot is fascinating, gritty, and atmospheric, but it frequently loses its identity as poetry. Much of it reads as lineated prose - simply chopping a memoir sentence into tiny fragments. Yet, when it hits, it hits beautifully: the imagery of the Spiderweb of a city, the mad cult leader drawing energy from capsized tugboats, and dropping pages into a roaring creek are magnificent.

    Conversely, I Met A Girl takes a sharp, jarring turn into crude, hyper-literal sexual detail that lacks the poetic transformation seen in the rest of their work.

    The Sprawling Beatsmith

    Profile Shot is a massive, stream-of-consciousness narrative memoir mimicking a walking tour of a faded, gritty mid-century American industrial town.

    Apparent Influences

    Bob Dylan, specifically his mid-60s surrealist narratives like Desolation Row; Allen Ginsberg, and Charles Bukowski. The recurring background gunshots, specific historical drop-ins: nineteen-eighty-five, Saint Mary's Road, Carver Heights, and casual grit are deeply rooted in the American Beat and folk-lyric traditions.

    The Critique

    Profile Shot is fascinating, gritty, and atmospheric, but it frequently loses its identity as poetry. Much of it reads as lineated prose - simply chopping a memoir sentence into tiny fragments. Yet, when it hits, it hits beautifully: the imagery of the Spiderweb of a city, the mad cult leader drawing energy from capsized tugboats, and dropping pages into a roaring creek are magnificent.

    Conversely, I Met A Girl takes a sharp, jarring turn into crude, hyper-literal sexual detail that lacks the poetic transformation seen in the rest of their work.

    WTF are you yammering on about, Donkey?

    They aren't "better there than here."

    They're still a part of the thread.

    Do you think that reposting the original post somehow nullifies the comments it received?

    Do you think that reposting the original post magically erases the comments?

    Do you think that by repeating yourself (getting the last word in) you've somehow won the argument?

    There's simply no reasonable explanation for your behavior. You're either deluded, extremely childish, or both.

    So what?

    They're also not in the original post.

    Now they're just in-between the two posts.

    You've accomplished nothing... apart from making yourself appear
    childish and delusional.

    I'm pretty sure that Will believes he is updating the web page on
    the JLA Forums site. That's why he thinks he can bump threads,
    thinks there's a top to be on, thinks that text is "removed" or
    "restored," etc. He doesn't know what Usenet is or how it works,
    so he acts like he's using a web forum because that's what he
    personally sees.

    I tried to explain that he's actually sending flurries of
    separate messages, but he either didn't understand or didn't
    care. I'm sure others have tried before me. I'm happy to explain
    again, but there's no point if he doesn't listen.

    Will, everyone's telling you the truth. You're not restoring
    squat. The troll's message doesn't change the original message,
    and yours doesn't change the troll's message. Nothing has
    changed. You're just flooding, piling on more and more messages
    of nonsense nobody wants to read.

    He's had over 25 years of people explaining to his donkey-stubborness how Usenet actually works. I'm not sure any of the facts penetrated.

    That partially Dreckweasel's well known and proven issues with reading comprehension. His other issues, like malignant narcissism and
    accompanying delusions as well as his grandiose and unjustified opinion
    of himself are not helping.

    Douchebag Willie only accepts help on his terms which guarantees it will
    never be fixed. He can't even be bothered get glasses, dental work or
    medical assistance.

    His deperate need to be the center of all conversations isn't endearing
    to anyone other than people who are at least as worse off.

    Have I mentioned he's also a Douchebag?

    Apparent Influences

    Bob Dylan, specifically his mid-60s surrealist narratives like Desolation Row; Allen Ginsberg, and Charles Bukowski.

    The Critique

    Profile Shot is fascinating, gritty, and atmospheric, but it frequently loses its identity as poetry. Much of it reads as lineated prose - simply chopping a memoir sentence into tiny fragments. Yet, when it hits, it hits beautifully: the imagery of the Spiderweb of a city, the mad cult leader drawing energy from capsized tugboats, and dropping pages into a roaring creek are magnificent.

    Conversely, I Met A Girl takes a sharp, jarring turn into crude, hyper-literal sexual detail that lacks the poetic transformation seen in the rest of their work.

    Good morning, Melissa.

    I thought you had me blocked?




    Yes, I do. That doesn't mean you've turned invisible. I still see
    your writing when someone else quotes it, as Michael did there,
    or when you reply to something I've written and I specifically
    check for replies to myself, as I've done here.

    Turning invisible is a good idea. Mute also.



    Then who would you have to obsess over and stalk, NG?

    Don't worry, Douchebag! There's also the "point and laugh" part that
    comes with you being free entertainment.

    Actually, I've only been a poetry newsgroup regular for about 23
    years, give or take.

    And hopefully many more years to come.

    I'm expecting, so Good Lord willing.

    When are you due?



    You're must not talking about Douchebag's back child support.
