poetry and politics thoughts--gathering

Anyone who says that political writing is bad writing probably doesn't understand what politics is.

"I am the world economy and I don't want to be stimulated." --Joanne Kyger

"--You have repeatedly defined the difference between making a political film and making a film politically.
--Yes..as Brecht already said it's not important to know what are hte real things but rather how things are real."

--Jean-luc Godard, as quoted by Cha in her preface to Apparatus as quoted by Juliana Spahr in Everybody's Autonomy.
