This all began with Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine.

From "Cruel Loss of Sons" by Egil Skallagrimsson

"My tongue is slack
with sky-weight,
too slow to move
poem-beams.
It’s hard now,
from mind’s haven,
to drag the swag
Odin swindled..."

. --Emily Osborne in Paris Review

compare W C Green:

"Much doth it tax me
My tongue to move,
Through my throat to utter
The breath of song.
Poesy, prize of Odin,
Promise now I may not,
A draught drawn not lightly
From deep thought's dwelling..."

"Great ice-cliffs were closing in on all sides. The light was fluorescent, a cold flat shadowless icelight. No sun, no shadows, no life, a dead cold. We were in the centre of the advancing circle." --Anna Kavan, Ice (1967)
