NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR MSY ISSUE 1

And that's everyone on the first mailing, I do believe.

Remember, if you have not specifically told me you want off the list, you can expect horrible parcels at random intervals for the rest of your (or my) natural life.  And when I die, my festering corpse will be shipped to one of you at random to do with as you see fit.

I'd laugh, but by now I know that that Dok is rarely joking.

[Zenpeanut]

Oh hey, I got mine a week ago

Very nice work Dok, I think I giggled at all the wrong parts (which were probably the right parts)

Also, my complements to Nursey on the art. At first I wasn't into it, but about half way through, I loved it.

If you get it, I expect a re-enactment of The Cremation of Sam McGee.

[Adios]

Send it to me. I will nail you upside down on a cross in my front yard just to watch all the green growing things on the block die and become venomous.

Ooooh one of the kids in EFO's class did a brilliant recital of that at their last poetry reading.

That's the piece that made me decide poetry has value.

You know, after the school system made sure it wasn't fun, by making us read Emily Dickenson and that goddamned Joyce Kilmer (the insipid fuck that wrote the tree poem).  Then I read Sam McGee and some Kipling, and suddenly I realized that a lot of it IS good, just like I had to discover Shakespeare for myself, after being tortured with A Midsummer Night's Dream.  If I hadn't caught a charcoal animation of Richard III on PBS, which led me to read loads of his other stuff, I'd still think he sucked.

[Kai]

The current mode of studying poetry in schools ruins it. Instead of tearing it down piece by piece and trying to drain meaning from it like squeezing blood from a long dead squirrel corpse, poetry should be read in complete (large amounts of it) to get a feeling for it, and then discussed but not dissected.

THIS.

And stop using horrible fucking sappy examples.  Joyce Kilmer should be dug up and fed to coyotes.

Read it three goddamn times in different grades.  Romeo & Juliet as well.  Ugh.  Thankfully they gave me Macbeth a few times as well, which is my favorite.

When I was in the scouts there was a guy who would recite Sam McGee at campfires and such.  It was pretty awesome.

Shakespeare's "comedies" are horrible.  Romeo and Juliet had it's moments, as did Hamlet and MacBeth.  Julius Caesar was fucking BRILLIANT, as was Richard III and Henry V.  Othello exists solely for people to misquote, and The Taming of the Shrew was a snooze.

[Thurnez Isa]

Strange thing is I hated reading Othello and Titus Andronicus, but for some reason those are my favorite two to go watch a production of.

Favorite two for reading are probably Macbeth and Julius Caesar

No way Dok, there are parts of the comedies that are truly hilarious.  You know, once you learn how they were intended to be truly hilarious a couple centuries ago.  Then you can laugh when you're told you're supposed to laugh, and "getting it" means you're way better than the uncultured fucks who don't understand that humor has remained exactly the same, which is why Billy Madison is still funny.

Those are the same fucks who ruined my first viewing of There Will Be Blood (one of the best movies of the last decade) by laughing.  They then got the rest of the theater laughing because everyone was so afraid they were missing a joke and looking stupid.  It's hard to get into a scene with an oil explosion when people are laughing like it's slapstick.

Yeah I've got a chip on my shoulder about that one.  Anyway Shakespeare is cool.

Dok, another publisher has been recommended to me by the Guild. It'll save us about 70 cents an issue and the quality is better.
