This year’s winning passages include prose published by established, successful scholars, experts who have doubtless labored for years to write like this. Obscurity, after all, can be a notable achievement. The fame and influence of writers such as Hegel, Heidegger, or Derrida rests in part on their mysterious impenetrability. On the other hand, as a cynic once remarked, John Stuart Mill never attained Hegel’s prestige because people found out what he meant. This is a mistake the authors of our prize-winning passages seem determined to avoid.
The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power, bro.
you lost me at bro
Everyone loves RM's cool stories.
the worst part of sentences like that, is that what she's talking about seems pretty interesting, and it could be stated much more plainly without, as far as i can tell, losing any meaning.

Liked them both very much: they're risky, using the long slightly prosaic line (it's the rhythms and sound recurrences that keep it from tipping over into prose). It's interesting how more American writers are prepared / brave enough to do that kind of thing; we're a bit more strictly metrical really. Yeah, both good poems -- but the tercets and couplet of the second one made the whole thing tighter (imo). Have you read any David Harsent? I like him. He tends to do that whole long line but in a small stanza thing.

Thanks, y'all. Mark, your comment about British poets is really, really interesting--I consider these two to be pretty formally-inspired, so it's very weird the differences in poetics between our two countries.
