TUBE
(for Cronkite)
Loose canister of security
forces people back behind
modern TVs’ flat plasma of fears; throw
an old CRT in the street
and its vacuum explodes
into words the shapes of
rocks & bottles.
A loose set of blogbooks, each a series of considerations on poetry and poetics, working progressively past the concerns of the Language and post-Language poets and their devolution into aestheticisms. "Post-language" in its engagement with the extra-linguistic concerns of both Tibetan and Euro-American philosophies, it also simply posts language to work toward the form of a practice of anti-aesthetics as an answer to contemporary poetic and political theory. It is an exercise book.
Tom,
ReplyDeleteHere's the test comment. I really like the echo of "loose cannon" I hear in the first line of this one. Trouble in Mind worked as a sequence very well when you presented it last night at BSC.
Thanks for the test and for your astute and complimentary comment. Now if we can stir a little more response, I'd get even more excited.
