“In 10 years, the 30-odd people who wound up coming and going on the list published dozens of books and chapbooks, held a number of festivals in New York, Philadelphia, DC, Baltimore and elsewhere, and put on high-profile readings at the Denver Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center and the Whitney (with our rivals and closest peers, the Conceptual Writers). Collections of flarf appeared in the online magazine, Jacket, and—scandalously—in Poetry magazine, our second and last appearance with the Conceptual Writers before their attempted hostile takeover. We were written about in numerous alt weekly papers, as well as in Poets & Writers and the Wall Street Journal. The BBC, Wired and NPR covered our activities—as well as the anger our very existence seemed to incite.”
