this link is to a piece that Lanny Quarles and I wrote. here's the details: Jeff Harrison posted this to Wrytings-l. Lanny responded with this. I posted a reponse to that, and then... I like this process, a kind of demystified let's get going. that's why I like the Wryting list, it's chugga chugga see what's up. the negative reactions to flarf or googly stuff probably centers on some sense of how the work isn't serious or crafted or some shit. altho both Chris Daniels and Dan Hoy make a point of not even refering to the actual work in ttheir criticism of flarf so it's a bit fuzzy. in this case, the emails arrive and someone responds. the flarf list is all about that. it's fun, see, to write. Daniels' self-advertised fardels seem not so interesting. perhaps he's been palling around with Franz Wright but at any rate the funless self-ad pretty well thwarts the political vision.
