You can't be a poet without being at least a little bit pretentious ;-)
Pretentious? Moi? π€£π€£π
I'd say my poetry is more avant garde, with overtures of a picasso-esque cubist post modernist narrative ππ
I used to go out with a lady in uni who studied fine art and we'd go to galleries together and make up the most pretentious bollocks about the art for a laugh. I made a steem post for comedyopenmic where I did a piss take art critic act. I really do like art though, just not all the pretentious rhetoric that goes along with it. She was great, super clever and knowledgeable, about art especially. She used to do the same thing at Poetry nights where I read out my work. Ruthlessly taking the piss while some of the creative writing students were taking themselves far too seriously π
I've worked with the kind of photographers that use difficult words to explain a simple photograph and never got used to it.
Ha ha, I can imagine it now.
