From Norway With Caraway (edit 3.1)

[wasellajam]

Mawmaw and cookies and you not falling victim to twee, hooray! I am not commenting on your draft yet. But I thought of you just now. Ocean Vuong (maybe a polarizing figure) popped up on my Substack (maybe a polarizing platform). He mentioned Shklovksy’s Art as Technique essay. This essay centers estrangement (rescuing cliches, rescuing grandmas from kitchens - you see why I thought of you: you removed her and brought her back, and the spark came back). The essay is a good read (maybe a re-read for you).

So I will post it and wait to see if I get scolded by the mods: https://www.paradise.caltech.edu/ist4/le...hnique.pdf

thank you, haven't read it, will now. An article the critic thought applied to the poem, just another offering, welcome on my thread. If the thread becomes about the article they can always split it. I'll take all the help I can get.
Thanks for returning and reading.

Any suggestions for alternate punctuation in S3 would be appreciated, I have some ideas but am worried about wrecking it.
