The Conceptual Poet and the Hiring Committee
- Invests in genre limits, provided one can violate them.
- Somewhat underdelivers, often dancing around the encounter.
- Tendency to pleonasm, though clearly wants to charm. Hints of personals ad in the LRB.
- Open to traveling for panel appearances.
- Seeks to individuate. Cites collectives as evidence of curatorial abilities.
- Claims not to know who Laurie Anderson is.
- Hyperlinks to allegory (the most repeatable and literary of devices) as evidence of invention.
- Is flexible, underspecifying the 'movement' as necessary, hesitant to commit to self-description should the next conference demand another.
- May read too many back issues of October –– envious of painting's egress.
- Good at market research, though strangely views literature as emerging market.
- Skeptically references something called "Flarf". (HC - No one knows what this is.)
- Provides consistent consumer reporting on previously used theoretical apparatus.
- Definitely willing to travel for panel appearances.
- Possible hire.
