POETICKS

I’m writing this entry pretty much entirely for myself.  It’s to be a list of my awarenesses and sub-awarenesses.  I need to write it, and print it, and tape it to a wall because I can never remember what they are, and sometimes what I’m calling a particular one.  I also want to get this entry done quickly so I can spend the rest of the day reading my friend Sabrina Feldman’s second book concerning the man she considers the True Author of the Shakespearean Oeuvre.  She’s by far the most intelligent person writing books against my boy Will.  She’s also nuts, but more interestingly nuts than the other “authorship-skeptics” because advancing an interesting candidate, Thomas Sackville, co-author of Gorbudoc, which is considered the first blank-verse play in English.  In the process, she brings up quite a bit of interesting data about the times, in particular, a hilarious idiotic court case that Shakespeare seems to parodied in Hamlet.  In her first book, The Apocryphal Shakespeare, she does an entertaining job introducing all the plays at one time or another attributed to Shakespeare but not consider his by most scholars.  Her thesis is that my boy Will did write them, but did not write the ones in the First Folio (although he may have added parts to them.  I love her ideas, and she is much more willing to think about arguments against them than most authorship skeptics are.  I helped her a bit with her first book and have agreed to edit her second.

Guess what, I have begun my list, but am quitting here.  I just have to change my title from “The Awarenesses” to “Sabrina Feldman.”

I made it, “Sabrina Feldman and Will Shakespeare.”  Tomorrow ‘s entry will have my list.
