Nekrolog over poesien: Vanessa Place & Kenneth Goldsmith
I Poetry Foundation:
" I have written elsewhere that conceptual writing is annoying. Kenneth Goldsmith is the first to say that it may be boring. Bad lyric stinks; bad conceptualism is just another idea. And, as I have said before, what conceptualism does do is kill not the author, but the text itself. The writing is inert, formerly utilitarian, now deformed into nothing but an aesthetic object. All mirrored surface, no reflected soul. Like a fountain as receptacle. There to be thought on, rather than learned from, it’s terribly egalitarian. If poetry sprang from the void, conceptualism is the void. If poetry is dead, act like a zombie. The fact is, I like boring things. They make such lovely holes. "

At spise grillkylling – Linh Dinh
Jeg hader at indrømme det, kammerat, men der er tidspunkter,
Når jeg spiser grillkylling
Når jeg ikke tænker på noget andet end at spise grillkylling,
Når jeg fuldstændig glemmer min familie, ære, og land,
Den blodskyld du skylder mig,
Mine ydmygelser i fortiden og fremtidige forbrydelser –
Alt, for at gøre det kort, undtagen det sprøde skind på min
grillkylling
Men jeg er ikke kun ond, der er også tidspunkter
hvor jeg vil afvise at slikke eller sluge noget
Som ikke er almindeligt tilgængelig for menneskeheden.
(Hvilket, når du tænker over det, er ingenting overhovedet)
Og det er uden tvivl derfor at æbler kan skabe optøjer,
Og kød føre til ydmygelser,
Og hvert gisp efter luft
Vil fylde ens lunger med krudt og røg.
