what is education anyway?
quicy troupe was on our local NPR station's "The Lounge" program last night.
when speaking, he ends his sentences in prepositions.
he mumbles and doesn't prepare himself for interviews.
he faked his education in order to be accepted into a post-graduate program, teaching the wide-eyed psuedo-liberal literature and writing students at UCSD.
when he read his poetry, i sat in my car long after i pulled up to the house, enraptured.
this man, education and grammar aside, is the most amazing poet ever to read their overtures aloud.
i wanted to be in a class learning from quincy troupe. i lamented that higher education let that slip through their fingers.
