WELCOME TO THE IRRATIONAL RATIONALIST
HOMEPAGE!!
My name is Heather Noël Schwartz and I am an Absurdist by trade with my eye on a degree (10°=1) in Post-Fnordist Studies. I have included on this page links to various Webpages that I have found to be most charming. Further, for those who have a strong tolerance for boredom, I have included some of my own essays which were written a while back...okay, a long while back. Nevertheless, enjoy!
"I do not believe in Truth, Beauty, Reason, and/or the Mind. Foundations, if they ever existed, are gone and there is only Propaganda--mine against yours...let the battle begin."

POETRY LINKS
ANTONIN ARTAUD a link provided to me by a "frenchy" pal
CHARLES BUKOWSKI Let it be known that I consider Bukowski to be a wanna-be poet who seems to fascinate the white, middle & upper classes with his alcoholism & supposedly "tell it like it is" bullshit. Apparently crotchety old men who pathetically try to critique society (by showing us how dried-up Californians with their gilted snears do it) is all the rage. "Yes, dear charles you are funny...but for reasons other than what the professors say. Not even the Straight Edgers have become as pathetically misguided as you. " Universities vomit his works left & right and deconstruct deconstructing deconstruction until the birds lose their footing. May the English Departments the world over burn in a perpetual literary hell for this offense. So here he is...listed on a meaningless webpage...where he belongs.
e.e.cummings <---there USED to be a kick-ass site that contained his poems, alas the copyright bastards who still cling to the tiresome notion of owning ideas have basically been shutting down many a site on the Web. If you do come upon a hefty e.e.cummings site, please e-mail me! Thanks, Heather. In the meantime, try this one e.e. cummings
