Description
The controversial poetry movement Flarf began in 2001 as a small e-mail list composed of writers dedicated to the creation of poems using un-poetic language, often with the aid of Internet search engines (a practice sometimes called Google-sculpting). The Flarf Collective is now 30 members strong, with participants scattered across the United States and Europe. Join us for a special Free Verse Evening of Flarf as four of these poetry provocateursNada Gordon, Sharon Mesmer, K. Silem Mohammed, and Gary Sullivanshare their unique writing procedures.
Free Verse is copresented by Rain Taxi Review of Books.
