dancing words and meanings 🙂 - thanks to all the makers/contributors and thanks for sharing

Thank you!!!

An absolutely concise & full evocation of Gertrude Stein's days in France, her background as it influenced her foreground. Enjoyed very much the context of "ex-pat" Americans learning about art as it broke away from the known--as did Gertrude Stein's writing.

Thanks so much for this - is there a possibility of reuploading the net US Poetry series of Kenneth Koch and John Ashbery? :(

Fascinating! Loved it.

Fantastic, I've been trying to see this -- but it's not available elsewhere.

I don't think Gertrude Stein is any more eloquent than say , maya Angelou or sir mixalot. I never understood what her big deal was. Its like she was a novelty. A girl that was allowed to talk because they thought she was a boy

She was a despicable Nazi sympathizer, and because of that who gives a damn how good she could write. She is an embarrassment.

I subbed just cause i couldn't tell what this is about even

It reminds me of the performing arts school i want to

My parents had this rather large library of hard backed leather bound books. And Gertrude*la sigh, la sigh le fukkin sigh* Stein NOT EVER NOT ONCE! EVER GOT TO THE DAMN POINT. she talks to be talking so that a man cannot!

I've had those same observations. Did not ever really grasp her appeal. She was a character, more than a writer.

Gertrude Stein's poetry is about (in my estimation) the sounds of words, the meanings of words, playing with both of these intellectually, while putting forward ideas within those words to really get across their importance as words with meaning--well, she repeats it, she repeats it, this is the "it" that she repeats. Also, poetry expresses the rhythms of words being together or standing alone, spoken in the mind or aloud--it's a "music" of sorts; Gertrude Stein's writing plays the "notes" of vocabulary in this way as well while making sounds with words as they are repeated alone or used together--it is art to do this.
