Then there's Found Poetry. But the poem did well in a big, fairly mainstream competition. I think some people would view it almost as anti-poetry. I like the collage effect, the mix of personal and impersonal. I had a poem in Iota which was a list of impersonal, somwhat inter-related factoids - here's an extract<br /><br /><br /><br />Hitler and Wittgenstein were at the same school.<br /><br />Don Juan's mother appears only in the 1926 Errol Flynn film.<br /><br />Mondrian was a fan of Mae West and Josephine Baker. He changed grocers often so as not to become a familiar face.<br /><br />In 1946, the Polish magazine "RSK" printed this "mate in 2" problem - 8/2Q5/4k3/8/2NB3K/8/8/8 - submitted by Karol Wojtyla.<br /><br />The KGB bulldozed an avant-garde show in Beljaevo Park, suspecting CIA involvement.<br /><br />Elizabeth Bishop kept Roquefort by her bed to make her dreams vivid.<br /><br />Tony Blair and Mr Bean were at the same school.Tim Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578925224900533603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421491328136165917.post-62802431549064529932011-07-20T11:55:11.359+01:002011-07-20T11:55:11.359+01:00In the simplest terms possible art is something st...In the simplest terms possible art is something stuck in a frame. That ‘frame’ may be a gallery space, or a park or something you bought from Picture Frame Superstore. Stick something in a frame and it ‘becomes’ art. And it’s much the same with writing, the ‘frame’ being the white page border, you take something and change its context. Because it is in a poem people look at it differently. They look for the poetry in it. We come to a poem with certain expectations and so we are already in a certain frame (if you’ll pardon the pun) of mind ourselves. It’s simplistic I know but I think that’s what it all boils down to.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
