Week 56 Salutes Those About to Rock
Why deny them what they want? Be not such a hostile motherfucker. (Psalm 37)
Our childish streak wanted to make it through April without anything that was overtly poetry. But the other day a variety of things read and discussed reminded us how much we wanted to share K. Silem Mohammad's amazing stuff with you.
You started hearing KSM's name a lot more with the publication of HOVERCRAFT quite a while back (2000?), from Kenning Press (who have wound down over the years, but can still be found.)
These days, you'll find KSM name-dropped and bandied in discussions of the likewise bandied and oft-disputed flarf. If we're going to have poetry during the 30-day period in which you are to pay more attention to poetry, then we might as well mention the lefty movement of the moment. Whatever you think of that gang," thank it for a great response to anything nearly-incomprehensible, that shit is straight-up flarftastic, yo.
We're pushing our buddy-ole-pal Adam Good to write a piece on flarf, cuz he has some interesting things to say. Help us pressure him. FLESH PILE!
