[New-Poetry] Grammatical

[Chris Stroffolino]

i think i would've agreed with this in 1986, and even up until around  
1996--
but around that time the jorie graham aesthetic kinda merged with the  
"language poetry" aesthetic
(taking kind of the least interesting aspects of both of them,
which generally happens with corporate mergers too)--
and now one has the
simply dull fragment,
alongside (vying with) dull exposition...but that's just the fashion  
biz..
luckily, there's always some others....you just gotta poke around...
