Robin Coste Lewis but I know gently caress all about poetry

I have been reading Countee Cullen recently though and he is really good imho

Cullen owns. Lots of good Harlem Renaissance poets.

Larry Levis is real good if you like boozy Midwestern poets like James Wright

No idea who Robin Lewis is.

Thoughts on Ben Lerner?

I have only read his fiction and have deeply mixed feelings. I wonder if his poetry is any better.

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.
It seems like every team in the afcs has, at best, a mediocre Oline. The Titans have a lot of first round picks and FA signings but they didn't seem all that good against Houston who had been struggling to keep any rushing attack under 120 yards and a couple of touchdowns. Luke Joeckel looks like a shitlord in his 2nd season and none of the other guys really seemed like they were all that. The Colts line got Luck killed for half the season and the Texans are terrible outside of Duane brown who is having a down year.

Ok change of pace what do you guys think of the National Book Award Winners

Ta-Nehisi Coates is a generational talent and the reputation of the award itself is entirely dependent on giving it to him, so no surprise there. I continue to struggle with Adam Johnson. The Orphan Master's son was good but I do not think it was necessarily Pulitzer Prize good and Fortune Smiles I do not think holds up as well against the other books that were in competition.

I think the Orphan Masters Son is a fantasy novel. It was ok but he spent a week in Korea; he didn't know much about Korea or Korean culture. I think A Corpse in the Koryo by James Church is a superior look at life in North Korea.

So is a 6-10 AFCS winner still on the table? I know it was a divisional game so one AFCS team was probably going to win, but does a Jags win narrow the possibility?

Yeah, Week 17 could see two 5-10 AFC South teams fighting for the spot, and two runner-ups fighting for 5 wins.

The Jaguars play each of the AFC South teams once before the end of the season

Though I like the Jags, titans and texans more than the Colts. Best scenario would be the colts getting through with 6 wins, because even though he's a neckbeard goober, Luck would probably be good enough to pull off some rediculous offensive outing and knock someone out of the playoffs in the wildcard round.
