That survival depends on gatekeepers, luck, geography, money, health, time, confidence, social networks, prejudice, war, fire, mold, eviction… and plain old burnout. So the invisible mountain of lost work isn’t a tragedy at the edge of art - it’s basically the default condition.

A lot of what we call “the canon” is not “the best” so much as “the survived” - the work that got copied, funded, taught, archived, distributed, translated, reprinted, passed hand to hand.

Imagining all of the greats that never made it past the gate. Their work discarded or sitting in an attic.

language staggering
on the edge of something true

Feels like a sonnet about trying to break into the poetry castle while everyone inside pretends they can’t hear the doorbell. Very relatable.

I’ll be taking this down in a day or so. It’s going to be part of a larger work.
