Subject: Re: The "problem" of gender<[log in to unmask]> I'd actually forgotten about all that! The details of it, anyway. Reading my reply to Alison's letter (I obviously thought she was being a bit disingenuous), I am reminded that the "changed emails" by Debrot were very much, and transparently so, a part of the parody, which did shake up the list, back then. Fifteen years ago, to be sure.
The Lacan/Debrot correspondence, with a brief Preface by Slavoj Zizek, btw, was eventually published as a chapbook by both the Cambridge Conference on Contemporary Poetry, and later by Marianne Morris and Jo L Walton's Bad Press in Cambridge.
VeRT was one of the most lively online poetry journals ever, and the entire run, edited by Andrew Felsinger, can be viewed at the EPC archives, at Buffalo.

Along with everyone else who was on the UK Poetry List before the unprecedented meltdown there.
