[New-Poetry] Kathy Acker

[Anny Ballardini]

welcome [back] to oblivion 
This website's first incarnation was launched in the spring of 1995 and crammed onto a 1 MB partition on a university server, planted somewhere among the Palouse wheat and lentil fields of northern Idaho. Until her death in the fall of 1997, Acker took a personal role in the development and evolution of this site, critiquing layout and always brokering new content. In her essay Writing, Identity, and Copyright in the Net Age, Acker testifies to the almost abhorrent necessity of internet publishing in a society which has become ignorant of its history and hostile towards its artists. Narration, Acker asserts, "restores meaning to a world which hardship and suffering have revealed as chaotic and senseless."


with a great reading, it starts out automatically:

I Tell You: One must still have chaos in one to give birth to a dancing star!
