Some have asked me if I read all the books in "A Bibliography of Conceptual Writings" (obvious answer: it's technically impossible). Others have asked me to mention some titles, some examples of this or that; for instance, the critic Alex Ciorogar, who I did forget to credit in the foreword for at least trying to help me, wanted something that really questions the notion of authorship (besides the obvious example of Kenneth Goldsmith's "Day" versus Kent Johnson's satirical appropriation, I also told him about Stephen McLaughlin and Jim Carpenter's "Issue 1", the nearly 4,000-pages PDF with generated poems attributed to almost just as many living and dead poets, some of whom were more than unpleased).

For now, I'm not even trying to give any sort of "canon", if that's desirable or even possible - I did enjoy more doing an inclusive bibliography than trying to make lists of stuff that is "better" (according to what criteria?) than the rest, lists that exclude.

Still... here is a personal "favorites" list (some are books/texts I can't even read (yet), but does it matter?): Amanda Ackerman - The Book of Feral Flora (2015) Sara Adams, 'Think Like a B' (2016) Sacha Archer - Dishwashing Event PART ONE: TIANJIN, CHINA (2016) Kate Armstrong - Path (2012) Oana Avasilichioaei and Erín Moure - Expeditions of a Chimaera (2009) Nanni Balestrini - Tristano Stephanie Barber - Night Moves (2013) Erica Baum - Dog Ear Heimrad Bäcker - seestück (seascape) derek beaulieu - Quercus: "Nations hurled together so they might learn to know one another" (2016) (edited by derek beaulieu/Lori Emerson) - Writing Surfaces: Selected Fiction of John Riddell Guy Bennett - Self-Evident Poems (2011) Caroline Bergvall - Fig (2005) Christian Bök - Crystallography Ida Börjel - Konsumentköplagen: juris lyrik (2008) Angela Bulloch - Rule Book (2000) Mairéad Byrne - SOS Poetry (2007) Martin John Callanan - Letters 2004–2006: Confirmation That You still Exist; I Respect Your Authority; When Will It End; One London (2007) Sophie Calle - Le Carnet d'adresses Theresa Hak Kyung Cha - Dictee (1982) Thomas Claburn - I FEEL BETTER AFTER I TYPE TO YOU Marcus Coates - UR...

edit: forgot about Chris Sylvester’s REPUBLIC (1 or 2?...) Joey Yearous-Algozin’s LAZARUS PROJECT (again can’t decide which part of the series to pick) and several other things as well. I deliberately left out Bernadette Mayer (whose Writing Experiments I find more than inspiring), Hannah Weiner, Charles Bernstein, Steve McCaffery, Rosmarie Waldrop, langpo in general I would leave for something else than a list of mostly books I have discovered during the research for the bibliography. same goes with Robert Lax and Aram Saroyan

Everyone tells me I’m a feminist. All I know is that I’m just as good as others…and that especially means men. I am definitely a socialist and I’m definitely a Republican. I believe in a united socialist country…definitely socialist. Capitalism can offer our people nothing, and yet that’s the main interest of the British in Ireland.’

Sinn Féin’s Joe Austin had the harrowing task of going to Gibraltar to bring home the bodies of Óglaigh Mairéad Farrell, Óglaigh Dann McCann agus Óglaigh Sean Savage.

This is Joe’s very personal account of that extremely difficult time, we would encourage you to take a few minutes this evening to read his piece. ———————————————-

Like the hunger strikers, I think that the kind of people who died on the rock, had they lived, would have been leaders of our community or of this struggle, such was their importance. And I think the Brits had every right to be…
