Deb and Harrison discuss and debate
The awkward poetry most do hate
And other flawful arts in turn
That public ridicule did earn
Deb holds the line for formal writing standards as Harrison condemns laughing at bad writing (while also, kind of, totally doing it). Deb plays devil's advocate, and Harrison plays super-devil's advocate. What is bad writing? What are the consequences of putting down art that doesn't conform to accepted norms and standards? These and other questions go vigorously unanswered in this unplanned and unedited conversation.
