Heck keston, this is the first time i've thought it - and who'd have thought it! but i'm keen to pursue this subject yet can't as time is rushing me stateside also. Like this issue of emphasis and polis. I'd recommend Michael Davidson's 'Hey Man, My Wave!': The Authority of Private Language in Poetics 6. Where, in talking of surfer argots, he asks, "Can a language speak of the heart without first inventing a heart by which to speak"? To Minneapolis first thing, to hear Antin - Brathwaite, do stuff cross-cultural poetics, then on to exhibit in Buffalo with Steve McCaffery and read in London, Ontario with Bill HOwe and Scott Pound - they of the up and coming EsSex magazine. see you in the fall breeze love and love cris %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
