trouble with olson's theory is that the logical extension would mean that
only the author could ever properly read a poem, or sound a poem, reducing
it to one only interpretation, tying the poem down.
now we both know that there are poems that don't need the authorial voice
or presence of the poet, poems that can be read from the page.
what olson was reacting to was the monopoly of print published poetry over
other modes of delivery, i believe.
my venturing into cyberpoetry in 1995 was, in fact, an experiment in
producing a poetry that performed, in the absence of the poet.
i propose that the mode of delivery is just as important as, if not more
important than, form and content. is it heard at a venue, read from a book,
listened to on cd, experienced on cd-rom, watched on video, interacted with
on the web?
