tinydoctor: I lived a large part of my life BTI (before the Internet), so I’ve had and have parasocial relationships with writers, particularly poets. I feel on intense, intimate terms with their work but that exists entirely and only in my mind. But I’d wear a Charles Simic or Sylvia Plath jersey, if poets had jerseys. Some people online I enjoy but not with quite the fervor I feel for writers and artists some of whom have been dead 100s of years, I have relationships with them. One way.
