"Contextual?
Isn't that just ~ New Historicism? A lit crit
Clique?
O, I sat a table, the Reading Room, in the Fogg,
Reading 'New Literary History,' one summer, I
Read almost the entire series.
Somewhere, all my notes
Are packed away, buried somewhere deep
Inside my closet ... but
Le Livre Est Sur La Table."

Where?
~ A Lecture on the Weather,
Etcetera...
"Artifice, in this sense,
Is less a matter of ingenuity and manner, of elaboration
And elegant subterfuge, than of the recognition
That a poem or painting or performance
Text is a 'made thing' ~ contrived, constructed, chosen ~
And that its reading is also a construction
On the part of its audience. At its best,
Such construction empowers the audience
By altering its perceptions of how things happen.
Thus, even though a work like 'Lecture
On the Weather' is a collage of found texts ~ extracts
Quoted message said:From Thoreau, replicas of bird calls,
Recordings of thunder ~ its 'weather' is
Charged with possibilities."
~ Marjorie Perloff,
Quoted message said:From "Radical Artifice:
Writing Poetry in the Age of Media"
[p. 27]

....just swim into the pool of knowledge,
make a splish splash!...
"(fission energy)"
~ Bert
Frisson,
Oui?
"The 'chain' will never allow it."
O, a pendant serpentine possibility ~
Or just a New York Ride. A cul de sac
Suspended en l'air ~ Mum's
The World. All abide. Now, come, let's stir, sauté, some fun!
Here, have some...
The work's getting cooked up done. Just ask Ms.
Nigella! [My fave food chef d'oeuvre!]
Been there, done that, doing this ~
Here, care for a lovely hors d'oeuvre?
It's Mum's new oeuvre.
[I helped, too.]
Now, go find some klews, preferably blew,
For the news...
"... confusing levels of discourse
Is not being logical
Especially when you don't even realize
The different levels"
~ arf meow arf
What's not?
Who's hotter?
Seen Spot, that wire-haired Bud de Big
Shot's?
[Snap!]
"Especially when you don't even realize the different
Levels."
~ arf meow arf
Au contraire! See, look, over there ~
The Guggenheim Museum! Spiral up, ramp out ...
But first,
We MUST meet, we must greet, me must eat
On the ground floor's restaurant,
Just south east
Of the turn style.
Is the multiplex
Disco open
Yet?

O woe ~
