"My Vocabulary Did This: Propagation Poetics"
"I have used cut-ups to generate new writing when I felt stuck, to antagonize settled patterns that I wanted to work against, and to deliberately extend gestures and to create echo systems across a manuscript. Gradually, I have come to understand cut-ups as a set of incredibly varied techniques, rather than as one specific type of writerly tool or one particular kind of aesthetic result."

What Sparks Poetry:
Tracy Zeman on Susan Howe's "The Nonconformist's Memorial"
“Howe’s techniques create an altered world that a reader can step into and attempt to decipher. In the act of reading, we enter into the act of making. I loved the mystery in that process and the reader-work involved as we participate in the unraveling of established histories and the un-silencing that results....She both implicates the existing narrative and reconfigures it to create space for others." |
