Try Albert Goldbarth"},"content":{"rendered":"
Are you confused and anxious when it comes to poetry? Do you find yourself lying to family and friends, saying you totally got a poem that in reality you most certainly did not get? Does the idea of going to a poetry reading make you sweat effusively? You may be suffering from dispoetic disorder, a condition I just made up that afflicts hundreds of millions of people across the nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Fortunately, there is hope: Albert Goldbarth\u2122, a unique and multiple-award-winning treatment from the University of Wichita, Kansas.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Albert Goldbarth provides fast acting relief from incomprehension, self-doubt, and paranoia. Unlike most contemporary poetry, Albert Goldbarth\u2019s poems do not feature\u00a0<\/span>dangerous \u201cself-conscious spareness\u201d or harmful \u201celevated diction.\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Goldbarth\u2019s poems are \u201cwacky,\u201d \u201ctalky,\u201d \u201ceffusive,\u201d \u201csprawling,\u201d \u201cgregarious,\u201d and, more than anything, \u201c<\/span>omnivorous<\/span><\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
People listening to Albert Goldbarth may be\u00a0<\/span>surprised<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>dazzled<\/span><\/a>, and experience \u201c<\/span>perfect zen-ness<\/span><\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Readers should be aware that Albert Goldbarth is associated with\u00a0<\/span>genre-bending<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>hitching fleas to cosmos-traversing chariots<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>transcending mundane reality<\/span><\/a>. Consult your doctor if you find yourself\u00a0<\/span>curling inward and then being punctured with genuine, unmasked emotion<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Albert Goldbarth should be taken with a treatment of Christopher Howell and Nance Van Winckel.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
