It’s not always plagarism…depends on the situation but in this case, we both deserve credit.

Oh dearest Patrice, it pains me to disagree (at least partly) with you. Art is intent, true enough, and in that way, I do believe Bryan deserves credit. Art is also raw materials and to take someone else’s words and strictly denote them as your own without some sort of reference back to the writer who wrote the words (which Bryan did) is plagarism in my book.

Remember:

art is in the intent.

If you intend your email as email, it is email. If you decide that it is art, well then, poetry it is.

This just might be the best thing I’ve ever read. From the poem, to the note on the origin of the poem, to the commentary on both. I envision a very scholarly conversation occurring in some MFA program about the literary value of deconstructing e-mail as metaphor for the great need that drives the writer … OMG. The best part of all: Wyatt’s been outed!
