I guess you mean the term, Lawrence. And are questioning the 'new' as
maybe too much?
But, wow, if these new practitioners are ' worried by live presence
in performance' that's sad. I would agree that that 'space' is still a
most exciting one.
So thanks for your thoughts. I suspect I'm a bit 'cleaner' than you,
but I agree that the active play is still something exciting.
I do admit that a few years ago when I was examining a thesis on the
'new' online poetry scene, I was amazed by some of the programming
while bored stiff by the actual words playing across my computer screen.
So there's still work to be done....
