Region: New York
Young poets today seem to have no history. Instead, they have theories -- or perhaps "patterns of code." Their work promotes the environmental movement, for example. Many of them, I believe, are still deconstructing something or other. Filip Marinovich, however, does have a history, which is visible in his name.
