In class response 3/23

All of these prompts were covered by my earlier post, but for the sake of being a good little cog in the machine, i'll respond again.

1. Why is flarf not taught as a form of poetry in all schools?
Probably because Dadaism is far too advanced of a concept to be taught to bored, uninterested students, and since Flarf is essentially Dadaist, there is absolutely no room within the average poetry curriculum for a poetry that will alienate students against it even more than they already are.

2. Do you think that flarf should be in a different category than poetry?
No, since doing so would essentially also force poets like ee cummings out of the realm of poetry and into whatever realm flarf is considered, perhaps 'experimental aesthetics'. Flarf is poetry, it's just stupid poetry with little to no redeeming value.

3. I like to think of flarf as "world poetry." Do you agree or disagree?
I have no idea what 'world poetry' is supposed to mean. I feel like it's a vague and irritating tag on an already vague and irritating topic.

4. Do you think flarf shows that the world is ruled by folly?
What? i think these questions were ruled by folly. if anything, flarf shows us that it doesn't matter how ludicrous you make whatever form of 'art' you choose to participate in, some people somewhere will gravitate towards it. How else do you explain the popularity of T-Pain?

5. Is there a limit to flarf or spoetry, in terms of how bad or wrong it can get? Should there be?
No, not necessarily, since by definition it is emblematic of bad taste. Art should not be ruled by convention, so blah blah blah this is stupid i'm bored now.
