extremity's small room
FIVE—IN EXTREMITY’S SMALL ROOM
I want a poem which is made of compression, passion, precision, symmetry, & disruption.
I want a poetry which is fetishistic, a-Moral, obsessive, erotic, a poetry of Commission, a poem of pre-meditation, beneath (not above) the law, with malice aforethought. I want a poem of omission. [“Omissions are not accidents,” said Marianne Moore.] That which is withheld on the page is equal in importance to that which is Held.
