This Concept Makes Me Feel

Vanessa Place and Robert Fitterman have a new collaborative book due out from the fashionistas at Ugly Duckling Presse this May called Notes on Conceptualisms.

To celebrate the book’s launch, they’re hosting an evening of performances at The Kitchen in NYC tomorrow night, an event featuring “an array of conceptualists: Jen Bervin, Nada Gordon, Kim Rosenfield, Steve Zultanski, and Lytle Shaw.”

What is conceptual poetry you ask?

Well, if you can’t make it to the Kitchen tomorrow to find out first-hand, here’s  a little video tutorial that might help.

Though, personally, I think this video is more instructive.

Or is that more Flarf?  It can be a little confusing sometimes.
