Description
Is there any avant-garde? What's at stake when 100 writers think through issues of accessibility and audience? This is a book comprised of answers-to these questions and their offspring-as various and contradictory as its contributors, ranging from Eileen Myles, Lyn Hejinian, and Joyelle McSweeney to Blake Butler, Jenny Boully, and Rikki Ducornet, among dozens of others. The results here provide discrepant engagements on the most pressing questions of the literary, the political, and the force of what's possible for writers in the 21st Century.
