of Palestine and a lot of the takes people seem to be sharing on here (Ocean being evil, self-centered, opportunistic, yada yada) really just reads to me as folks imposing their weird parasocial relationships with him to his political beliefs. Valid critiques can and have (3/5)

is a dangerous and inconsistent way to measure oneโ€™s political affiliations/commitments, but what I can say is that Ocean has spent the majority of our classes talking about literature and empire and how they interact. There is no question of where Ocean stands on the issue (2/5)

extend their annoyance into attacks on his character that you realize just arenโ€™t at all true if you actually have the chance to know him. So, idk. Ocean is not a perfect man, sure, but I feel like we love to rag on him and it feels tired to me idk. (5/5)

I have periodically used the Poetry Foundationโ€™s Poetry & Practice learning prompts to give myself exercises. As I was going through the learning prompts, I noticed they had an article, published on June 30th, 2022, titled โ€œStrange Fruit.โ€

I tell folks all the time I am only doing the MFA because I want to teach and itโ€™s considered the terminal degree. There are SO many ways outside of the MFA to be a writer, and many of my favorite writers donโ€™t have one!! (Many of my least favorite writers do!)
