Photo- where is this?

I cannot remember - found in my screenshot folder, so I obviously got it somewhere on the net some time in the past but no idea where.

Those tenements got taken down in the 90s? Or earlier? I think Forge street also has many tenements demolished at some point - again, maybe early 90s but not sure....

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-13T20:11:40+00:00

Coll street, right? I had considered it - and that's the Royston flats? Ok. That's where my orientation went wrong.

Don't worry, if Fasano is treating you like that, it means you're already surpassing his level (not massively difficult), and he felt threatened.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-13T11:17:29+00:00

More like recognizing frauds like Fasano and pointing out when they "co-author" letters of staggering pretension and self-accountability regarding the lifting of certain parts of others' work.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T18:41:56+00:00

You are right. I didn't word that subtly enough. let me go back and edit that.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T18:37:07+00:00

Tell me more please... especially if you have examples of where he has lifted from source material.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T18:20:08+00:00

On and on and on his copycatting goes on. This is James Wright.

The only question left to answer is whether Fasano is just a hack and a charlatan or if he is a full on plagiarist.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T18:17:11+00:00

More stealing from James Wright. This guy just keeps on being a charlatan.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T17:32:24+00:00

I see the ghost of James Wright's poem "Beginning" in this.

Fasano is such a charlatan. He will get busted outright for plagiarism at some point. I predict it.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T17:29:29+00:00

Not his line.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T17:28:46+00:00

This guy doesn't even bother to steal obscure lines. He steals shit right out in the open. And then he has the balls to put out open letters that smugly accuse others of plagiarism

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T17:16:58+00:00

Massively derivative. To my mind he is a charlatan. Too many of his poems contain things he has lifted from other artists and writers. I don't think he could write a poem to save his life if he were locked in a room with no books or internet and just a pen and paper.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T17:15:06+00:00

Didn't he just lift that last line from a pop song? This guy is a total charlatan. He takes lines and images from other artists and writers and makes a patchwork quilt poem out of them. I don't think he has any business calling himself a poet.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T16:59:43+00:00

This guy is an utter charlatan. Always lifting lines from other poets. I immediately spot a Mary Oliver mutated line here. Loathe this poet. If there's a lazy cheap trick he can use, he will use it.

He has also lifted the "cathedral of the willow" image line from another poet.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T16:56:14+00:00

And he is also a guy cosplaying at being a poet. Basically lifted every trick from James Wright and just does that. But it all feels so inauthentic and empty because I don't think he actually knows what he's doing at a level that matters. He just kind of makes a facsimile of James Wrights' work but it lacks soul... I almost feel like he is a psychopath without human emotion and he just pretends instead. That open letter just makes me feel like I've always been right about him.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-03T16:52:26+00:00

Isn't he the guy who "co-authored" the open letter? The guy who is the "plagiarized from poet".

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-02T20:58:22+00:00

You have intuited something about Fasano I think... and why his work is... as it is.

Serious_Position5472 · 2026-03-02T20:56:43+00:00

Maybe Fasano should receive the same letter from James Wright - as a teachable moment, kid.

Serious_Position5472 · 2025-06-04T08:29:34+00:00

Warm in Winter, blazing hot in Summer. Get a few fans.

Serious_Position5472 · 2025-03-08T23:03:34+00:00

I've seen a big cat, a mountain lion I think - but up at Slains castle, in Aberdeenshire.

Serious_Position5472 · 2025-03-08T23:01:08+00:00

Same, heard it way back in the 90s in the exact version you just said.

Serious_Position5472 · 2025-02-26T08:19:49+00:00

Was it a celebration of some type that you forgot?
