You know, this reminds me of an interesting question a poet in La Paz once asked me (in Spanish), and it was out of the blue, after he’d been sitting there, saying nothing for something like an hour.
Does contemporary U.S. poetry have mobs?
This was very late at night, with poets already on the floor, here and there. But I’ll never forget that question. And then he closed his eyes again.
Mobs as in crowds? or mafiae? In either case, an only slightly cynical response would be that’s all it has.
Good question. But he fell back asleep before I could get him to clarify. The Spanish word he used has ambiguous reference, too.
