The Soft Grid: A Response to Sina Queyras’s Lyric Conceptualist Manifesto : Kenneth Goldsmith : Harriet the Blog : The Poetry Foundation
The conversation over at Harriet is getting quite interesting.
Queyras’s manifesto primarily hinges upon one sentence: “The Lyric Conceptualist is not necessarily a feminine body, but it has the stink of the impure, a certain irreverence for the master, therefore it is by default, feminine in construction.” Accordingly, second-generation minimalism in the visual arts—also known as

365 Ruined Sonnets: Notes & Conversation with Stephen Collis
My second Harriet post of the month.

"The idea of sheer, un-productive practice attracted me–the idea of writing and destroying what you'd written, just to 'get better,' the arrogance, and preciousness of that, I took from Pound." The sonnets are
