In one of his think pieces, Siken spoke in-depth about this movement of fans linking his work to other media, especially "Supernatural." As he puts it, there was "no interaction between poet and show." In an interview discussing this, Siken maintains that both " Crush" and "Supernatural" are "products of a cultural moment, not products of each other." And for some reason, he still follows me. (He hasn't posted in months, but for some reason, his blog is still up. Last winter, to promote the release of his second book of poetry entitled " War of the Foxes," Siken created a Tumblr blog, posting think pieces on the reception of " Crush" over the past ten years and following blogs with a presence in his own fandom. Of course, Siken's book was accepted for publication before "Supernatural" even aired, but that has not stopped fans from asserting that " Crush" was inspired by the Winchester boys. "Crush" deals with many of the same themes as "Supernatural," including the open road, guns and violence, a pervading sense of danger, and codependent love.
