Rebecca, I don't mean to single out your post here but I feel I must make
my annual plea for a slightly different understanding of 'avant-garde' as it
is so fashionably named. It does seem to me that this use by both the
'pros' and 'cons' moves the debate onto the edge and manages to avoid
dealing with the other characteristics of the work that is often relegated
to this category. I'm thinking here of experimental in its non-USAcentric
sense.
I think this is a more important subset of what is dismissed as AG too
easily (or langpo, if people are so inclined). I would suspect, for
example, that the book you refer to makes no mention of Loss Glazier's
_Digital Poetics?
