@mwichary apropos of not much: are you familiar with the poetry of archy the cockroach, delivered via the typewriter of don marquis?

mostly the device: the medium of the typewriter as itself a setting for the fantastic, and the dramatization of typewriting as labor thru the absence of capitals and punctuation, since the cockroach couldn't hit shift (except for one poem all in capitals after he hit shift lock)

also just hoping to see people look at his stuff from various angles, I'm trying to sell Jahan Ramazani on adding it to the next edition of the Norton modern/contemporary poetry set but I don't know if he'll humor me that far
