Flarf Poets Boycott McArthur Grants

I'd like to think President Putin for the contribution to the underground Flarf network.  The money will be disbursed by the end of the year. 

We will publish new disbursement new very soon.

That's bullshit. McArthur grants are for mainstream artists, like Barret Kardashian.

Do you mean Bradley Kardashian the whistle blower?

What's with all the flarf references? Is this supposed to be funny?

They are all written within minutes. I suspect the same author, a flarf poet abusing herself.

Didn't these people come late to the table? What do the Kardashians have to do with flarf poetry? If they write it or are the subject..Oh Christ, don't get me started.

Sugar? Aren't kou related to that BooBoo kid? Get out of this Flarf forum.

No Flarf poet is in danger of getting a McArthur Grant.

If there is money available, I believe the blog is obliged to the make information available to the writing community.

I should add that taste is all over the map and funding seems to have an equally arbitrary circuit.

Really, a poet will turn down a Macarthur? The grant officials will announce that they begged poet x to take the money, but she refused stating she would rather remain outside.

Taking money from Putin is not a good idea. When the language poets retire and leave teaching positions, Flarf poets will be there for hire. Imagine having Putin money on your hands -- unless he begins endowing chairs.

Fyodor said...

Take the money! Putin is spreading CIA money around anyway.

We have provided notepads, laptops and stationary for Flarf poets. They have a great sense of entitlement.
