Gurlesque
Wednesday 16 July, 2008
'There seems to be a lot of misunderstandings of "gurlesque" (and it appears I've only added to the confusion).
Gurlesque is not a movement (like Surrealism etc), it's a frame Arielle Greenberg thought up to read some of the most interesting contemporary poets in America (as possibly elsewhere).
I think the concept has promise, though it hasn't yet been made much more than a category.'
A word that has been making the rounds recently amongst a certain group of as yet uninterconnected posting. I'm not too sure at all, but make what you will when you investigate the Gurlesque.
