who we are

a literary culture is any community in which the written and spoken word is recognized for its transformative power.

we are that community.

sure, we like literature. but we also like poetry. and music. and dance. and art. and photography. we like it all, and here we can talk about it all. here, (almost) anything goes.

Listen to Your Logic

Hating poetry because of a crappy teacher is as foolish as hating football because the Cowboys had a crappy season.

If an entire sport can't be blamed for the shoddy and inconsistent performance of a handful of its athletes...

Then an ancient art form (it's been around and will be around longer than any of us) can't be blamed for the shoddy and inconsistent performance of a few overworked and/or underpaid and/or emotionally damaged teachers.
