Greetings collab book members. Some of you might remember or participated in the Project 26 collab book. I've blogged a "Lost Classic" from that project - Litsa Spathi's "O" chapter - great vispo & some further documentation:

Hi TIC TAC, I'm glad the intro. works for you. Your use of (relative) minimalism in the chapter triggered some very serious meditation on my part. You are part of "The Great Tradition" of poetry indeed, among your other talents. Thank you again for your wonderful chapter!

Thanks, edition #2 is one of my all-time favs. Rosa Gravino's chapter arrived a few days ago & is over the top. I'm still not done blogging chapters.

 

Cleo, pomo stretched across four goddamned decades, if you trace. For me, it became "The Thing That Wouldn't Die." It became totally the realm of critics & theorists. Certainly it was trendy at several different stages - but the worst - and I think I remember the era you're talking about - was when the theories were so impossibly incomprehensible that the students it was being foisted upon had no real idea what it was about, most of their professors even less, but people felt like they had to jump on the bandwagon because it must be cool. I think it maybe really is gone now & it's safe to go back in the water. However, the clean-up that toxic spill will take a long time. The people who started it never had any intention that it would become what it became and many them ended up its most badly maimed victims. But that's true of most things.
