The Tower (XVI) (most common modern name) is a Tarot trump card that has many different names, symbols, and meanings. The name and layout in its current form is a reference to the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, where God destroys a tower built by mankind to reach a babe in halter we spring up and down, restrained, eternity invades right now I’m thinking LangPo is the serialism of poetry -- joyless academic dogmatism, obsessed with an ivory tower version of art history is that my head smelling just like a lubed tuba.

Conceptual what????

In large part, my interview process is, I have to admit, a critical response to my dislike of the very popular and common "questionnaire" interview, with preset, non-variable questions, often having nothing to do with the poet/poems. Asking the same questions to the same poets produces remarkably similar interview-reading experiences (tropes of answers).

time to put out

i've already sent my 100 dollars

as is usual there will be much hand wringing and best wishes but it's cash that's needed. where much of the "advant garde" isn't curry is the real thing, so it's time to get our overfed asses in gear send some money.

In the late 1980s Box began as a magazine with one reader and one editor/contributor and these positions rotated between Greg Evason and Daniel f. Bradley. One issue would be created by Evason for Bradley then the next issue was created by Bradley for Evason. This perfect system worked because each issue had a dedicated readership. The readership demanded that each issue be wildly different in both content and form. Experimentation became the rule, not the exception. Flash forward 20 years and Box begins again as a simple blog with the same spirit. (....here)
