The artificial framing of vision, BUT I dont want to get all theoretical :-))) - where the idea of a window or frame (parergon) concerns both viewer and artist - where the viewpoints of both contribute to manufacture meaning :-) - BUT I think I'm WAY OFF your two 's discussion - just popped in - maybe I'd better put that on Angies B.O.C. :-) Just yanking Bruno's chain before the weekend - being a Red Cherry/Herring and all ;-)) X

"De Villo: the future is in the diversity of materials (are we still in poetry's territory?)"

That's the $64,000 question Bruno. With things like asemic wrting and haptic poetry, it is possible.

Double Thrust of Text into Silence - WOW!!! :-) - hello. Going out to NOT be silent!

With the U.S., then you know there's this idea we really don't have a culture, or what we have is some kind reaction against Europe - that can be useful - having not much a culture to build on.

Fascinating quote from Beaulieu. Glad you put it there for others to see. You know I try to resist applying critical theory. I see the jargon there. I've read this stance about concrete poetry being an anti-art stance, a statement of revulsion and rejection. I don't think that's sufficient. The idea of disruption of narrative, conventional texts - that comes from Marxism as you probably know - art as political activism - I don't see that it really has much impact. The statement about not using advertising, etc. Are people here countering that by bringing so much found material in their work? So many issues there it's hard to focus on one point. Excellent issues, though. Just so many...

Let me get back to you on Beaulieu's paper - am juggling too many balls in the air, as they say. ALWAYS nice talking.

But - you know - the strides continued. I do remember John Bennett's work in the 1980s. Innovation happened in that decade for sure, but I think it was more underground - truly an alternative culture. Fewer people knew about it.

Oh, man, poetry is a mess. Pathetic really.
