Mallarme is still writing electric poems.

Judith Balso & Phillipe Beck: Talk 2

Experience is a special pre-condition for experiment.
Experiment as political and ethical problem in the poem.

"The ascent into the effect..."-Philippe Beck

[Folding the summers into halves
is not a hobby
is not origami attempts at the word.]

[The pressure of a swing in its inevitable un-swingingness.]

-->return to Alice Notley's Descent of Alette.

[Language as the air around a swing.]

[Language as the air from where dirigibles made appear.]

[Poetic language is a return to nothing.]

{To make boredom more dramatic.}

Philippe Beck might be a poet because he looks like one.

[I believe that true boredom is impossible to experience unless its purely entertaining.]

[Boredom is an ability.]

[the book-form itself gives me pressure.]

[I'm not sure yet what my obsessions are or who they come from.]

[Some poets simply know how to capitalize on the lower-case "i". For instance, Tao Lin.]
