No sooner have we crawled out of one worm riddled hole when we slide into another. OMG - postmodernism. Answers would partly depend on whether we are Brits or Americans, the term is not used in the same way - correct me if I'm wrong folks but in the US isn't the word used as more of a catch-all for innovative work - the post of the term postmodern taken more literally and meaning post-modernism. Over here the word is used more as a description of culture in general, therefore poetry engages with it, lives within it, but is not necessarily IT - does that make sense?
