Fragments from the Seventeenth Manifesto of Nude Formalism

Away with the study of flotation!


Articulation is more than an manner of gritting the pendulum!


Down with all authentic formulations of these theses! Down with Adolescent Sublime! Down with Abstract Confessionalism! Down with Empathic Symbolism! Down with Symbolic Empathism!


All good poetry is the forced constriction of feelings of powerlessness.


Poetry is not the erasure of personality but a caprice of personality. But of course only those who have caprices will know what it means to want to pursue them.


Poetry has as its lower limit insincerity and its upper limit dematerialization.


Use absolutely no word that contributes to the direct sense of a thing seen.
