Poetry Route
I just returned from a writing conference in New York City where I heard Steven Berlin Johnson talk about digital text. I came away from his talk with an idea at last of how to approach this blog.
To unwind after getting home I looked at some poetry blogs and came across Million Poems, a pleasant enough blog from Jordan Davis, described as "Not a book, but a depot for poems in route." I'm confused, however, by "route." Does Jordan mean the poems in his blog are drafts? If so, I'd love to them read them instead on a Wiki so I or any other reader could follow the drafts. That would be a lovely route to follow.
Thanks for pointing me toward Wiki. The poems are 'en route'. I don't use the term 'drafts' -- checkers? beer? conscription? -- poems are never finished only abandoned (P.Valery) -- or, as the Frankfurt school liked to suggest, art's autonomous i.e. it has this other life no matter what is intended for it. Blah blah bleagh.
