I like Camus, but I am just curious to as to why he is so popular here. And I would like an answer besides Joey's.

really, this isn't a chat room, and i wasn't aware, anyway, that camus was popular. i think that shows a kind of superficial response to the site on your part. the history is that V. wrote a poem about Camus, which i reacted to in the comment section, and lots of people had something to say, and i wrote a poem to show what i thought camus is about , and now someone else has written one too. anyone really active in the scene would thing that was all a pretty cool thing to have come down in a poetry site.
this isn't myspace.
your turn, someone but me.

camus was just camus

but still, when bloggers bloom,
they still say, "kee et voo?",
on that you can rely.

-- Camus was a companion in my youth when I was 13 and spoke to my silence and solitude then -- the expository piece 'the first man: Camus knew', was mine which I did in response to the other better Poetry here -- like the well commented - what the fuck did camus know and joey's ethereal camus - mine was more like a historical snippet for blog radio as a way of re-introducing him to me so I could follow the commentary better -- an accessible piece if not Poetry proper -- I had fun re-reading him --

i could only happen when it happened. i think people here maybe don't remember that when we're kids we really want to be something and don't know how. the transition from mom's words -- embryonic life, where all things have a boundary -- into our own life full of new surprises, leaves us speechless. but, the grownup camus, watching the unspeakable -- the social realities which haven't a structure for speaking of them, except the church and marxism -- stymie ordinary comment. you can't say, anymore, "god wanted them dead", because "them" are us. speechlessness turns into accusation -- camus is ashamed of so many things. it's not an unspeakable before the infinite, but a mute-stupidity before the finite world of evil. the existentialist part is really about "evil" -- were the petanists "evil" or not?

The greatest danger to progress is the sense of achievement, resting on one's laurels, which I'm sure Camus also became -- at least he saw through the inhumanity of Capital punishment as a State form and ritual of ignorance; as if killing can be a deterrent to killing - he said the State is below the Person - to which I would add that the Person is a result of Natures yearning to become something more - Nietzsche alluded to this when he said man is a bridge - therefore Man is a child of Love's longing to become what She is becoming, by Nature's realization - She sees Stars and wants to be one when She grows up - from stars we come to stars we shall return, but first through the lowly worm -
