Todd and Carl

By: David Blaine (Guest IP 207.69.137.38) on 15-05-2007 04:51

So the LA Times thinks Todd's the most important American poet since Sandburg. I hope Todd takes that as a compliment. Carl's name rarely pops up in the rolls of American Poets. Surely not if you're speaking with academics. Carl did do some time in the pokey, in Pittsburg, for riding the (freight) train without a ticket! 
But a lot of his early work was about the little guy, dime store clerks arrested for stealing food, steel workers hosed down by strikebreakers, immigrant laborers working on a railway so the rich could ride in luxury. 
He would fit the outlaw poet profile, I think. 
Enjoyed the article. 
Dave

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
