Conceptual Poetics: Christian Bök and Kenneth Goldsmith 

I thought that Bok's reading was exactly like Duchamp's re-framing of that urinal by simply moving it into an art show.

Taking a college class in Poetry, I did find this helpful.

“This is a poem, maybe more poetics, titled, ‘why postmodernity reflects nothing more than academic self-stroking.’ There’s more read in the way someone reads instead of what is written down, and sometimes a caricature is just a caricature, even resembling a feeble attempt at self-awareness, which echoes originality today. But if you ask, I’ll reference Shakespeare’s fools. And here’s a quote of a quote to reinforce this cartoon: ‘“The style is the man himself,” people repeat without seeing any harm in it, and without worrying about the fact that man is no longer so sure a reference point.’ Look at me, the zany, hip hipster who, despite my title, or because of it, is not too good to have fun at my own expense. What a good boy am I.”
