My name is Felicity Bloodcock.

Poetry is ordinary speech and can operate otherwise. That's how it does operate. Even to say things in plain speech can be made into a style by critics and can be made to have more and more aspects. Books can be written on all the aspects of your poems. People can theorize or simply assert or believe that they are antipoems, others can argue whether they can be catalogued that way or not. They can take your own comments as part of the myth of your style and that is your style. They can whether you are interested or not. That is what is happening.

But I am not self conscious. That is my point. I am the only one who is not self conscious. I am not interested in people and their reactions or ideas. Those things mean nothing to me. They are nothing to me. I am being. I am not performing. Nobody cares about what anybody says. If they claim to - they are lying. They have genitals, stomachs, mouths and wallets. That is all that they have. What is happening is that people are looking to supply their genitals, mouths, stomachs and wallets. That is all that is happening.
