Rupert Murdoch's New Poetry Blog
Media conglomerate News Corporation—aka Rupert Murdoch, aka Harper Collins—has launched a new fake poetry blog hosted by TypePad—which it still doesn't own, not yet—named CruelestMonth.com.
Harper's imprints include Ecco, fair-weather friend to Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Zbigniew Herbert, Aleksander Wat, Tomaž Šalamun and Yannis Ritsos, among others.
As my best mate during my consignment in the Bundeswehr, Jo, used to say—ever often and always aptly: Zum Kotzen.
Aleksander Wat explains to a young boy what crap HarperCollins is.
2 RIDERS:
Does this mean Harper Collins is the James Frey of blogging? And, this seeming to indicate that poetry blogs are totally over, can I just skip getting one together now?
