RP: What's interesting is that with a little syntactic smoothing, this
diced and minced and reassembled Auden might well be accepted by the
literary equivalent of the magazine that accepted Sokal's paper, some
years back.
JE: Yes. Alas.
EY: With the correct contact-sodden cover letter, MFA credentials, and
the right persona--perhaps Kim Ogg, former prize-winning Albanian
Olympic weightlifter, now the radicalized current lover of Jeanette
Winterson, and female vocalist of the band "Love Hammer."
One could include a photo, mail simultaneous submissions to dozens of
poetry magazines, wait a month, post simultaneous submission retractions
and apologies, and see what kind of mail results. Perhaps Ogg's
postcolonialist "appropriation" of part of Longfellow's "Hiawatha" would
work?
