Although [The Social Network] portrays a billionaire, it also tells the story of the social condition of labor: the impossibility of friendship in the present condition of the virtual abstraction of sociality, and the impossibility of building solidarity in a society that turns life into an abstract container of competing fragments of time.

I write your name for the last time in this mist, White breath on the windowpane, And watch it vanish.  No, it stays there.

—Charles Wright, from “White” in Country Music: Selected Early Poems (Wesleyan University Press, 1991, 2nd ed.)

Twice in recent memory, two of our editors have had the chance to speak with Mr. Wright. I think we can safely declare him a charming man.

"In symbolist poetry meaning does not come from the representation of preexisting reality and from a correspondence with the refferent, but from the evocative force of sound, and voice, and rhythm." The New Sincerity wants both. Feed me unity.
