I don't know why critics makes statements such as this except for a crowning need to reveal their own foolishness. in adapting Lynch's words, Basbol may just be throwing out a maybe, but Lynch isn't. and I don't even accept Basbol's maybe. I don't accept the premise that certain means of expression can't be profound. oooo, profound. what is profundity, by the bye? such statements indicate limitation and resistance. what inherent aspect of collage, or flarf, rules out this profundity? one again, the rules commitee skids offtrack. rather than accept the blockade, try scrutinizing the resistance.
