> POETICS : PLAY : PARTICULARS
>
> joy, surprise, delight ----- desire found in it's satisfaction -----
> shrugging off the vestiges of vanguardism, forgetting the pose of
> oppositionality, skipping thru the shreds of pervasive cynicism and
> laughing at the cliqueishness in the mouthed mantra's of our collective
> domination by state, system, theory, language... we find that under this
> dross, making (poeisis) is a joy, a now, a spontaneity in points and flows
> ----- asking anything to be a poetics of such might sound like a request
> for orgasm in semaphore ----- but it is uncertain whether the poetics
> stated for any making is truly identifiable with the act itself -----
> start by dilating; for poetry read "the language art" (nothing less) and
> allow for any intermedial incursion that play discovers ----- for poetics
> read "a space within poetry that might overlap with the moment or reflect
> it's joy, surprise, delight" ----- for particulars read "that which play
> melds with, the flow of language, the crumbs on the table, the corner to
> peek around"
