Mischief in Literary Affairs
I've lately been writing parodies of Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, specifically, by having their imaginary brothers Extra Pound and P.S. Eliot appear on my blog as authors of poems. Here's a recent one by P.S. Eliot, who has, surprisingly, turned out to be critical of his more famous brother.
P.S. Eliot: Said Lust for WarWhy should my brother T.S. garner praisefor the Wasteland of his writing that laysinto the Westland sharper than unknownlegislators, who sharpen quills, atonefor the sins of Europa's sons, with thrillsof medieval mystery plays, whose chillsrun down the spinelessness they so bristlelike quills more mighty than misled missile,said lust for war, that is the dead'ning lust:Show me that famed fear, that handful of dust.
Many thanks for the excellent poem and the introduction to your brilliantly named appendices Extra Pound and P.S. Eliot.
