If you are interested in poetry, I hope you’ll experience THEORYLAND, a serious poem you will actually enjoy. Laugh-out-loud-and-cry enjoy.

There are several excellent scholarly aspects….1) THEORYLAND is a fond riff on Prufrock and The Wasteland. Eliot loved to allude to earlier poets; and I have returned the favor….2) THEORYLAND is a witty satire of the highfalutin Criticism known as Theory. (When you stand back and look at what our academics have been doing the last several decades, you start to suspect that Sophistry was the main game in town, which has had a very negative effect on education. For more on sophistry, Google “Philosophy Weeps,” an essay by same writer.)…3) THEORYLAND tries to show that serious poetry can be enjoyable poetry. Too many academic poets accepted the notion that serious poetry had to be pretentious and dull.

I have been serializing THEORYLAND in several places. Now, all five Cantos are up. Visit Improve-Education.org (#14) or Theoryland.blogspot.com. Your comments and reviews are welcome….Bruce Deitrick Price
