"now marjorie [perloff] was giving a talk based on the
last chapter of her most recent book the poetics of
indeterminacy the last chapter of which happens to deal
with john cage and with me
and whatever differences there may
be between cage and me and these are considerable we
were both obliterated by the righteous wrath of harold bloom
who had hardly heard more than our names when he
denounced the proceedings as ridiculous and us as nonpoets
and stormed off the stage"
David Antin, from What It Means to Be Avant-Garde
