Ben Lerner: 10:04



Art has to offer something other than stylized despair.

... that part of what I loved about poetry was how the distinction between fiction and nonfiction didn't obtain, how the correspondence between text and world was less important than the intensities of the poem itself, what possibilities of feeling were opened up in the present tense of reading.

What normally felt like the only possible world became one among many.
