Dear Tom, since you admit your "academic deprivation", which saddens me
immensely, I would like to illuminate you on one minor but essential aspect
of academicism, in its tendentially speculative thoughts and attitudes,
which is: exactness of references and quotations.
So, please, tell us, who are those authors you are referring to, which are
the names of these individuals who, although being for a long time in the
mainstream of "experimental" poetry, have, in your opinion, a "seeming
ignorance" on the issue at the very core of your worries?
I am asking this with sincere curiosity, do not misinterpret me.
