Preface - Electronic Poetry Center

I think the poetic issues, delineated by the two (M/Language) here, parallel the
contemporary religious and political moves; are not merely reactivity by them.
For that reason, the Apex of M writing these matters is provocative.
Personally, I’d rather ‘react’ to a humane rationalist (meaning even the
limitations of such a specifically delineated stance) from which ‘place’ one can
bound freely into one’s own (inner) terrain, not usurped by anyone, than to
have to have ‘vision,’ ‘tradition’ and ‘spirituality’ (‘one’s own place,’ so that
one would simply have to make another place) defined and held as a product or
a poetic ‘position;’ which, when defined, and defining as power (as one avantgarde
overtaking another), is voided.
