Objection!

What I think is a deeper question is that poetry and poetics have been dominated by two tendencies in recent years- fascileness and a fixation on the obscure.

The fascileness in poetry is embodied by the Flarfists and other nonsense poetry that substitutes chance for craft.

Just because you disagree with something doesn't mean you shouldn't link to it.

Apparently, if you disagree with something, you no longer read anything else that person says, ever.
