This is my main problem with all “experimental” poetry—that it merely
plays, and needs to do something else than play, or take play further. I guess I also think that
people need to write more about each other. Not necessarily as critics, but out of investment, and
genersoity, and genuine concern for each other’s wellfare and work.
