once upon a time seamus heaney called for a becketttian poetics of cinematic language that opens trap doors & does doubletakes.  i was thrilled by that call for beckettian poetics & wanted that for my own poetry.  such a vivid caption for a postmodern poetry is thrilling.  but rather i prefer for my own poetics is an antipoetry of radical simplicity.  a duchampain poetics of everyday & found things & words.  an ordinariness tasked against the complexities of our mad times.  duchampian art is what the artist says it is.  like placing a urinal on a pedestal.  & signing it r. mutt.  or using the language of texting, twitterings, email, tv, movies, & the ordinary speech of all of us.  & do this with full knowledge that no one owns language, but the words belongs to all of us.
