(or the thought process or circles I go around in every literarykpop post, an indulgent meditative attempt at an explanation)
Three things prompted this meditation: 1) I've been receiving quite a number of messages over at literarykpop recently (incredible wow), mostly about requests, the occasional sweet little notes of thanks, conversations, and lately a few questions how the tweets come about, where I look for poems; 2) I made this tweet and a mutual in private quoted it with another text (or meme? joke? about immigrant mothers being unable to acknowledge their blunders to their children and offering food in lieu of proper apology, which, okay, True, but, but,); and 3) I flush deeply, gratefully, every time someone dms/replies/qrts with a comment about the "genius" of the post, but really, truly, as my friend C says (who is also running a poetry x BL twitter account), it's labor, it's a labor of love.
So, not sure where this will go (ah, what's new) but I am one beer in and I want to think about and write about how I put the photos and quotes together, or as I like to refer to the process, collaging.
