]]> Comment on Rust and red brick by Lhowon http://www.lewislacook.org/2009/12/rust-and-red-brick/#comment-16 Lhowon Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:42:17 +0000 http://www.lewislacook.org/?p=20#comment-16 How odd that in the midst of all the internet I would stumble across a little local piece like this. More importantly, this story encapsulates the horror, stark bleak nihilism that rises up like vomit every time I draw nearer to Lorain (or Elyria or Cleveland for that matter). Watching this old rusty dinosaur slowly be picked apart and decompose is so over-powering that I don't know whether to flee or to watch like some sort of timelapsed car crash - impossible to look away even though it turns your innards into a pulp of revulsion.

Is that pretty close? Lewis,

Let me see if I understand this: You initialize the poetry generation via the input of a data template based on your own compositions, and the “poetry generator” in turn, produces a “random composition”.

I totally get what your saying - to me Romanticism (or a kind of uncertain Romanticism(!)) is an important feature of the "Postmodern condition". @Alan - I like your point about anti-humanism/anti-human. Postmodernity is definately misanthropic - human experience by proxy, etc. However, I don't believe that we're entirely certain about this!

Too often postmodernity is seen as a fundamentallyn chaotic style with modernist, i.e. reductive, bones; I think this is connected with the strain of anti-humanism that runs through a number of thinkers, and has been taken up as if anti-humanism meant anti-human. I think a lot of us have the same tendencies towards romanticism, even if we keep it out of our work - it's there in everyday life. For me, it's about the onlly thing that keeps me going at this point. I appreciate your text - - Alan I agree with you and appreciate your direction.
