Can criticism be poetry?
Yes - see Pope among others.
Never read Pope.
What is the role of criticism in new/experimental writing?
Explication, community, clearing-house.
Networking history, threaded continuums.
What would experimental criticism, as a counterpart to experimental
writing, look like?
There's a lot of it out there, for example Brian Kim Stefans
This is that.
Should criticism be more like call&response in form?
Criticism like anything else should be whatever it is; the critic isn't
any more beholden than anyone else.
Too often somnambulant.
Is criticism collaboration?
Sometimes, but in what?
There's always more room for an insertion.
Experimental writing doesn't mean there aren't differences of opinion or
taste after all.
The work itself is a wilderness of critical diversity, endangered & thriving only in the margins.
