Open Letter: Kenneth Goldsmith and Conceptual Poetics

I read a pretty insightful quote by johanna drucker. It echoes something I've thought but never vocalized.

"No violation of the protocols of literary production or identity can even register as novel. Not now, not any more. Not since the mad dash 20th century self-conscious modern assault on all convention and then the assault on the assault as its own convention and so on enacted endlessly iterative upping of the continual cycle of violence against established protocols."
