I like that kind of writing. It gets my blood up and gives me tools to work with. It makes me feel a particular kind of righteous. But I also like writing that makes me connect through my heart and body. I know that poetry starts with body and ends up at brain.
Poetry opens different windows than analysis.
Those windows need to be open, too. Opera, country music, wage, career, rap, light-skinned, white trash, bath houses, public sex, dildos, sodomy laws, lesbian potlucks. The list goes on. That's quite a list. I would start by thinking about class and then by asking how this conversation about class is different because the voices discussing it are all queer.
