Is It a Poetry or What?

Well! Frankly, I felt disappointing while I was reading for our class this week. I just read the first three parts, and then I decided to go over the rest without deep concentration.

I started with the first part that is “How To Be An Internet Artist” It is true it gives some guidelines for beginners to start their work, and be considered writers or as he said Artist. But, there is nothing new! Any person wants to publish his work, will do the same.

I struggled strongly with “OK Texts” because it is really difficult to know what is the purpose of it! I mean what is the connection between these questions and poetry! I don’t know! For instance,

Technological determinism will cause you great pain. Continue?

OK

Your health will one day disappear and you will die without

meaning. End session?

OK

It is about technology, which is one of the themes in Postmodernism, but it looks like questions and OK answers and nothing else.

The third part that is “This Could Be The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life”, is the most funny and contrary part. Regardless of the tittle that alludes; in somehow, of being prepared after the first two chapters, for writing. Thus, the writer has just considered himself a writer for the first time in his life. However, there is an obvious contradiction or hesitation in some places. For example, “First I had to go meet my agent who wasn’t really my agent anymore but, rather, my gallery director. Well, not exactly my gallery director either.”

Another example, “I improvisationally stole some of his ideas which weren’t really his ideas at all but something Robert

Motherwell” And so forth!

Really, it is the most challenging reading that we have done till now. I whish if I could meet the writer and ask him, What are you doing? What do are trying to say?
