Lawrence -- I would like to say your talk of complicity seems uncharitable
with regard to Chris's efforts. A blanket is a blanket and a cold person is
a cold person -- or do you wish to bring semantics into the nature of
charity?
With regard to the Retro sisters, Lang-po, and Cam-po, if they are nebulous
as you claim, then why do people persist with the groupings? Are they
derogatory terms of endearment --like impressionism or cubism? If I made
generalizations --then you should easily be able to give proof of exceptions
to the rule -- I said that the use of literary/cultural theory which is past
its sell by date is used by lang po/cam po poets to prop up their poetry.
Is there a member of these schools that doesn't use theory in such a
manner --give me a name? Is there such a thing as a free-range Lang/ po
poet?
Yours Stephen.
