Two-Minute Aphorisms


The most radically experimental is that poetry which appears without any publicity, scaffolding or promotion whatsoever, completely bereft of explanatory support networks.

*

Poetry is verbal music.  If it has no music, I'm not interested.

*

Prose is absolutely necessary, especially for the most banal, vapid and insipid communications.  The only thing on earth which does not require prose is poetry.

*

Poetry is conceptual music.  If it has no sound waves, I'm not interested.

*

You needn't concern yourself with this useless gray pebble.
