Lumpy pudding

Judging a poem is like judging a pudding or a machine. One demands that it work. Poetry succeeds because all or most of what is said or implied is relevant; what is irrelevant has been excluded, like lumps from pudding and 'bugs' from machinery. (Wimsatt & Beardsley)

Here we celebrate the excluded, lumpy parts of the pudding!

Grace Hartigan: Persian Jacket “Hartigan made her first prints for this publication [Folder], three silkscreens for the first issue and the covers for issues three and four. Vecchi introduced her to the technique of silkscreen printing which he had learned in Italy. (He later taught Andy Warhol to use this silkscreen technique.) Hartigan’s first three prints were an abstract still life and compositions based on River Bathers (1953) and The Persian Jacket, although the mood was entirely different in the prints. The small, brightly colored silkscreens have a lyrical character that distinguishes them from her more monumental and powerfully evocative oil paintings.” - Robert Mattison (Source)
