[New-Poetry] Re: Pirates

Newness as value. Currency as primary. Poetry as panty raid.

There are writers who believe newness is the primary value of artistic
production. Sometimes this yields brilliant work, as in Christian Bok's case
(and I heard the phrase "newness is value" in an interview with Bok), and
sometimes it yields the tedium of weather reports or a phonebook, etc.

"Poetry as Panty Raid" one might dub this in keeping with its youthful
spirit and artistic depth.
