Reginald Shepherd
This Is Just to SayI have posted a revised and much longer version of my Harriet post on "post-avant-garde" poetry, now titled "Defining Post-Avant-Garde Poetry," on my own blog, to be found here. In this extended version of the piece I discuss various writers' conceptions of the phenomenon I address, including Paul Hoover's new modernism, Stephen Burt's ellipticism, and Ron Silliman's third way. I also further expand on the idea that the mainstream/avant-garde dichotomy is outmoded. I hope that all who are interested in this topic will take a look. CommentsThis night I read the post on your blog; and then--after doing an Dear world:
Jonathan David Jackson Greatness is the worse kind of advertising: good work demands more than a slogan, more than platitudes, more than superlatives, more than favor, more, more, more—it keeps demanding and questioning--refusing hagiography, refusing memorials, refusing labels, refusing in-groups and out-groups, refusing to be done. I kind of like this one, Jonathan David Jackson. More, more, more, how do you like it, how do you like it - (remember that song, Reginald?) [Good work] keeps demanding and questioning - yes, it does. |
