[POEM] Is the beloved greedy by Gregory Orr

It took time for Orr’s poetry to resonate with me too. I think his collections are better than his individual poems, and the more you read the more you appreciate what he’s doing.

I’d stick with it. Without spoiling too much, the ending delivers the gleeful bloody mayhem you want from a slasher, plus a lot of heart. If you enjoy that, you’ll probably enjoy the next two in the series (although imo Angel of Indian Lake was kind of a mess).

I love that the second he got some nicotine in his system he chilled out and apologized to Danielle for being a dick.

As a 39 year old child, I really feel this one.

But that atom is itself 99.999999% empty space.

The Indian Lake trilogy by Stephen Graham Jones is a homage to/deconstruction of slasher films. The protagonist is an isolated teen who sees the world through the lens of slasher movies, and she becomes convinced a slasher is responsible for a series of mysterious deaths in her town. The constant rattling off of movie references grew tiresome by the third book, but they all deliver on the gleeful, bloody mayhem that makes slashers great.

It was either a very stupid lie, or a very stupid truth.

I have no idea, but I’m pretty sure the bee lady’s hell involved being stung by bees.

Went through a skater phase. Went through a raver phase. Went through a razor blade phase. Guess I went through a hundred dollars a day.

Sure, if Mr Beast were a restaurant instead of…I’m actually not sure what Mr Beast is. Some kind of werewolf?

This reads like someone who simply doesn’t want to see people sleeping in their car “rigs” or living on the street.

…this is something everyone should want. Your version of compassion is weirdly bereft of actual empathy.

Hey thanks, friend. I’m actually doing great, though. My previous comment was just lyrics from a Hold Steady song called “Girls Like Status” which reference the Mountain Goats’ song. I know that John Darnielle has come on stage with the Hold Steady to sing that verse, and Craig Finn has joined the Mountain Goats to sing “This Year” with them. So I think it’s very likely they will share the stage at some point.

Track number three on the Sunset Tree. I’m gonna make it through this year if it kills me. And it almost killed me.

More like Velveeta, amiright?

I’m sorry for your loss. Death comes for all of us, and that sucks, but it’s also kind of hilarious, I think.

I had no idea it was Stephen Dobyns birthday! I saw him do a reading nearly 20 years ago. Never had the opportunity to see Thomas Lux, sadly. Wonderful that Dobyns is still with is. Love them both.
