Came across this article and found it very interesting.

Would anyone like to discuss the article? I'm not familiar with the poets that are mentioned but now I would like to look them up and read some of their work.

I'll try later, but somebody should tell this bloke about paragraphs.

I never heard of the man, but--here's a link:

There are several pieces to read--long-winded they seemed to me at this time--I'm bookmarking and checking them out in depth later.

Looks like another mob of mindless seeking more mindless Abolitionists to me ....Don’t say I didn’t warn ya, they're everywhere!

...and sentences...

In his visual poem, Ashbery takes the reader through a dream-like sequence through Francesco's creative and though processes.

I gave it a shot, kdnxdr, but just couldn't quite wade through what this AC writer was trying to communicate. (It kinda reminded me of some ambiguous term papers I wrote in high school.) :( But maybe it was just me...
