Comments on: A Few Short Poetry Announcements http://www.worldclasspoetryblog.com/short-poetry-announcements/05/02/2009/ Commentary On 21st Century Poetics Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:13:20 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Patrick Gillespie http://www.worldclasspoetryblog.com/short-poetry-announcements/05/02/2009/comment-page-1/#comment-724 Patrick Gillespie Sat, 02 May 2009 12:35:21 +0000 http://www.worldclasspoetryblog.com/?p=568#comment-724 The whole concept of a hybrid poem is curious. It presupposes that there are rigid ideological/aesthetic constructs (otherwise known as schools of poetry or movements) that can be mixed and matched. I suppose, from an analytical perspective, it's useful to think this way. I'm also guessing that, as soon as the Millennial School of Poetry is established, the Post-Millennial will start showing up. Anyway, I'm all for it. If you know of some Hybrid Millennial Poets (Hymennial or "The Hymennial School" for short), then name names. Let's read some of these poets. Publish some extracts from your own poem. Let's see what you're talking about. (I'll read post-Hymennial Poets too.) The whole concept of a hybrid poem is curious.
