Hello -
this is my first time posting. i mostly read this site to find writers that I otherwise, likely, wouldn't have stumbled across.
I found Nettelbeck mentioned with some contentious feelings and opinions.
I read the long posting from a few months ago, with all sorts of tangents and fiercely inappropriate name calling - by all parties involved - and couldn't understand what was going on.
I value some things about this site and dislike some others, but would sincerely like some opinions about nettelbeck.
I've read him - he is a good writer. Is he Bukowski? Burroughs? no. clearly. A descent poet in a world with a lot of really really shitty poetry? possibly.
I think it's a Bukowski poem, or quote, but (paraphrased) the world has a lot of poets, but very little poetry . . .
Please fire away, any opinions on Nettelbeck are appreciated . . .
