"Is there, or is there not, a Queer Avant Garde Poetry?"

  quest Hey DB Readers, We're helping to spread the word for the folks over at anOther orifice. If it's a good fit for you, please submit to help support this worthy journal. Here's their statement: "there is copious work in photography, video, painting, performance, and on stage that queers the avant garde.  and there have been many great authors whose work queers the hell out even the expectations of experimentalism — whether they (the authors) are “heterosexual” not really being the issue — Pound as much as Burroughs, Duchamp as much as Genet, Andrews as much as Acker, as much as Stein, as much as Cage, as much as Cahun, as much as Spicer, as much as Artaud… but most often when a poet is marked as not straight, as not cis, as non-normative in whatever way… the work strikes an altogether normative pose.  what’s that about?  where is the truly queer writing and not just the 1st person predictable with low cal low carb “deviant” content? an0ther orifice is for that shit, the unpalatable avant garde, for negativity and nihilism, for what gets you off and turns you on.  poetry which queers the "form" as much as the "content" (these terms are expired). avant garde... the words are dead — long live the words!" http://an0therorifice.blogspot.com/
