An anonymous, collective blog, Faits Divers de la Poesie Americain et
Britannique, is now available for viewing.
Inspired by the early-20th century French anarchist, art critic, and
journalist Felix Feneon, who under the byline "Novels in Three Lines"
anonymously published hundreds of faits divers in Le Matin during 1906, the
blog will present, with periodic additions, epigrammatic
observations--satirical and fanciful--related to U.S. and British poetry.
For example:
Impassive, impenetrable, offering only name, rank, and institution, the
heroic neo-Oulipean M. Bök withstood three weeks of waterboarding in the
secret chambers of the Poetry Foundation. Finally, he broke.
An initial offering of 85 is now up, accompanied by visuals. More will be
added, as inspiration strikes. Please visit!
