At first, Ms. Waldman and Ms. Monk seemed to belong to opposite species. Ms. Waldman’s “Entanglement Variations” was an intensely self-conscious speech-cum-song monologue-cum-cantata. In each of of its three parts, “Melpomene,” “Assorted Selection” and “Entanglement,” she came across as all studied effects, self-fascinated yet never quite sincere. Here and there, she added hammy tremolo to her speech. When she was singing, her voice swooped and scooped over nearly two octaves without anywhere sounding relaxed. There was plenty of physicality to her performance: She walked, knelt, bent and took the poem from upstage to downstage. Her references to “Sprechstimme,” “larynx,” “phonemes,” and “the original Anne” (presumably a reference to herself) only added to the artful preciosity of her poem.

On the day after the election in class we got a lucky peek at what poetry is going to look like in the near future and it was so damn fun!!

Used the autocomplete suggestions to write a poem for class and I highly recommend giving it a try. #flarf #poetry #poem: image via Ashley Robles @mzaashleypie, 9 November 2016
