TURN ON THE BIG LIGHT

Concurring strongly with this statement of Josh Corey’s:

I’m interested in heteroglossic poetry, whether literally (poetry that incorporates other languages, dialects, and modes or classes of speech) or otherwise (forms of poetic heteroglossia that intrigue me include poems that deal elegantly with the mundane and quotidian, or with the brute facts of the desiring and perishable body, or with the various modes and incarnations of history). I think it’s worth approaching these questions of genre from this more existential angle: to interrogate forms and modes for their ontological and epistemological possibilities.
