<p>At least some of the shotpo concept revolves around "lucid" & "incomprehensible." I see a lot of talk these days in the area of the heinous "conceptual poetry" realm of knowingly rendering things incomprehensible or unintelligible. This is now considered a valid activity by someone somewhere that is supposed to achieve some purpose. Ficus rendered something already unintelligible completely incomprehensible, among other things.</p>

<p>You played right into my hands, Claire. I am cutting and pasting your prose into a new interview. You are remarkable for generating a vast amount of relatively lucid copy on very short notice - a lost art. But I did need a refresher on the original intent. Thank you.</p>

<p>I am in possession of such vast mail-art treasures lately that I don't exactly know what I have. Believe me, I will soon find out.</p>

<p>I have not seen "Guess Who" turn up anywhere else. Our mutual friend converted his blog into a 24-hour-a-day rant against pursuing higher education. Although recently, he seems to have gone back to posting mail-art again. It could make an appearance there.</p>

Aaaanyway, that was an env. of things I had gathered to put into the pockets of your Trashpo Folio/Fluxkit before I began making it, yet forgot to enclose when it actually transpired. (So: put the trash in the piece where it belongs boy!)(or not. as you please.))</p>

<p>Carina, I just hope you enjoy the Trashpo. I wrote it, and I can't even read it. Yes, Shotpo was a big project for M-L. I still have the Shakespeare sonnet & the Holism Manifesto (totally shredded) to document but probably just at M-L. I am behind on blogging just a ton of great work. If you look at the work in DK's Trashpo Exhibition & what's in this blog, it is obvious Trashpo is evolving & becoming more refined (IMHO). </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks Carina</p>

<p>Great mixture of new trashpo! Took me 20 min to read. Shotpo collaboration is so good and much work! But wow I'm enjoying everyone's artwork in this blog!</p>
