Re: FLUXLIST: poetry submission
Patricia, I am very sorry to hear or read your Haiku about loving women. Did you make the poetry deadline? Is it going into our book? I am sorry more for your disappointments with men. I don't trust them either. ---Don I have always preferred women, too.

The operative word here is "think" I am pissed off therefore I ponder... Lord Hasenpfeffer wrote: I think I'll become a lover of women. I no longer trust men. This is very good haiku, IMNSHO. I always loved women and have never trusted men, so I can relate. Myke P.S. However, I thought this was a matter of design and not choice. Hmmm... [rubs chin and ponders]

Re: FLUXLIST: Poetry Submission
In 1972 after much reading of Cage and a personal letter from him, regarding my having been "let go" (fired)at Kenyon College, I developed a poetry technique which I later termed "Fluxpoems." At that time I cut out words from Magazines and newspapers, usually in bold type (similar to what a kidnapper would do, I think) and rolled dice as to how to past them down. Ie. If I rolled a seven I would pick out seven pieces of paper from a hat, paste therm down, and so on. I rolled dice as to number of lines. Today, I picked up a newspaper, closed my eyes, made marks with a magic marker, then typed up the words marked in order. I limited my choice to ten marks for the sake of brevity. -Don Boyd Fluxus West POEM The Filters at the plant ting precauti wate in," he said at facto RAISE law Police Such action would occur -Don Boyd 4-26-2000
Re: FLUXLIST: Poetry Submission
Hi Roger I'm sending you these off list because it's too much to post and I'd rather not have this recent stuff read on FLUXLIST right now. One caveat: I think it should be called something like "Fluxlist Poetry Chapbook" or anything "Fluxlist" rather than Fluxus per se. Of course others may disagree. Hope you get some stuff from Alan Bowman, his poetry is very cool (see his website (http://space.tin.it/clubnet/abowman/freeformfreakoutorganisation.htm) the Free Form Freakout Organization. BTW you don't have to use all of this I'm sending, take yr pick. I just send more to let you read more of what I do. Hope you enjoy the poems and read you on Fluxlist.

Re: FLUXLIST: Poetry Submission
then we'll go for it, as that old Fluxus devil Rimbaud used to say Well, isnt it all about lifestyle, more or less ? We could start a thread about R.D.Laings conversations with children, to switch to our century. "L'Elegance, la science, la violence", had it as a motto on my first "homepage".. One sentence of Blaise Cendrars, to name another writer. Or Ivan Goll. Rainald Goetz, who is/was rather popular here, once wrote "half a sentence of Thomas Bernhard", a writer from austria...
