There's a curious hoax afoot.
The perpetrators are a group of "poetic researchers" named Vladimir Zykov, Steve McLaughlin, and Gregory Laynor, who have published a 3785 page journal of poems called For Godot.
The journal is full of spam-like poems (flarf?) which they have attributed to different writers alive and dead. I happen to be one of them. Many other folks I know and admire are in it, too. Maybe even you!
Here's the poem they published under my name, which I didn't write:
Of intensity
Invincible as a possession, angry as a dew
Only as a time, long as a time
Long and unretentive
They have feet
Late at night they acquit
him
Like a black way
They can see the noise of the
hand, between these invasions and those invasions
Early in the morning they answer him
Into a driven
flame a bad
hour appears
The ages concentrate as if they
see it
(pg. 1453)
Here's Mathias Svalina's poem:
Mankind
Mankind
A suit
Writing mankind with humanity
Air and flying
An other cherry
Suffocating
A cherry of
suits
Throttled
A man of
crumbs
A kind of cherry
Fitting panic
A sort of rioting
Like an imbecile
The sandy visions
Of wilderness
People
The towering glances
(pg. 1272)
Here's Blake Butler's poem:
Lands changed inside admiration
After now it skulked you, exiling, skulking, a sort of country
(pg. 1595)
Here's Gary Lutz's poem:
A flag
An added leap
Like a dome
Like a grave
A forest
A hint of bodices
Thirst written into nature
Sure lights and wise triumphs
Of fame
Like a trade
Nodding creation
True reasons and altered
rotations
Anguish
Good hillsides and untravelled earths
Like a hillside
Like a company
Brave midnights and
livelong worlds
Silent asphodels and wounded flags
Slow nails and light prints
Cautious breasts and old nights
(pg. 2829)
