“Dear Matthew,

I think that when your teacher suggested contacting an expert in the field, he or she did not mean an 80-year-old former poet laureate of the United States. Please choose someone else who can better spare the time for you. Thanks.

In any case, Donald does not use email.”

and THIS is the bullshit I get? What an asshole. Some shitface named Brian responds when I emailed Donald Hall’s publisher, asking SOOOOOOOO FUCKIN politely if he’d help me with my senior project. Well FUCK YOU TOO.

I’m done. Rage complete.
