The Clairvoyant Zoopraxiscope

After careful research, I've discovered that Sufjan Stevens began his career as a writing student at the New School. I'd have to suspect it was poetry, too. Since he's a young guy, it can't have been that long ago. It makes me think that many of today's MFA students, particularly the ones who are producing faint, weird, not-quite-present work might have a lot of music in them... And good music too. That maybe their deire to write poems is actually a desire to write music. I know the two are related. But still. Think of the marketing transformation...
