The Oulipo, which started in 1960, quite openly is not so much about
creating poemy texts as creating interesting "constraints" or "rules" of
generation or 'formal axioms' or whatnot from which texts may arise or be
generated.
Why should poemy poems be utterly primary in the notion of poetry? Try that
for thirty years and see if yer still awake. There's more happening in
language and art than that approach.
