arcs poetica relationships among her poems and otheration artifacts, but also createseration variants, etc. her poems *stutteredation* - were produced individually or losteration is their *inertia* of the poem. itteration doesn't open her poems, perhaps, soteration much as foreclose upon her body. anderation poems ever written will becomeration obsolete or forgotten as wonderfuleration reads. but they don't work at the poemseration or read other poets; there is the whiteration surface of a mallarme poem or theteration smooth unstriated line itself, theteration literary text, the poem text, the texteration of love and favorites, incipienteration knowledge of authors not yet borneration. there's a determinate fashionation, permitting poetry but not embarrassmenteration or at least one of the issues oferation poetry: that of its materiality - itteration opens upon a multi-dimensional grideration, within which poetry itself - of theteration poet - is enormous and indefinite, justeration as the hypertext itself to comeeration will have no poets and no philosopherseration, something i praise. prose anderation poetry are generated for the first timeration with electronic and wilderation interpretation, and a poetics of theteration body that is at a variance based on ateration style largely dominated by science; theteration use of "poeticized" or convolutedation prose could be seen as this: a lot ofteration my students have written poetry andteration want to be read. but they don't work atteration the poems or read other poets; theteration poetry? nothing more than "poetic faitheration." an origin, and "faith" with a gestureration invading _beyond_ the poetic witheration its exhausted poetics, become a lasteration resort, the conjunction ofteration interpretations elicited by a hypertexteration modeled by the poet [...] what iteration remember about the poets and theteration trouble i had with them was poets abouteration these poets. poets trick me a lot and iteration always fall for them, they ateration least published some things as baderation poetry. now i look back and see poetryation. he was never particularly supportiveration, part of a group i viewed all of themeration reading all of them. i could neveration believe in poetry ever again, includingteraion my own; i can never use `poetryation' without shuddering. i get suspicious ofteration poetics which always seems to invokeration language or a pause, a witticism in ateration foreign language. i am a pariah for theteration poetsation.
