If nothing is new, suddenly nothing is obsolete

Experimental forms, surreal constructs, aleatory processes — these are now traditional as well. Whether I write a paragraph in the format of Embeirikos or a sonnet in the format of Shakespeare, I write in an established form. This is a liberation. There is no longer any prohibition based on the arrogance and prejudices of Western modernism – if nothing is new, suddenly nothing is obsolete. What matters is human utterance in community, not novelty engineering in history.
