fuck new formalism
New Formalism is a reactionary impulse masquerading as revolutionary. The way to reverse the entropy of late 20th century 'poets' (ie. the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets' self-referential masturbatory decay) is to not to rearrange the mess into pretty little mosaics of emptiness. Negentropy can be effected by Meaning alone. Truth alone.

...a journey the boy cannot make himself...paddle to the sea - 1966
Based on Holling C. Holling's book of the same name, Paddle to the Sea is Bill Mason's film adaptation of the classic tale of an Indian boy who sets out to carve a man and a canoe. Calling the man "Paddle to the Sea," he sets his carving down on a frozen stream to await spring’s arrival. The film follows the adventures that befall the canoe on its long odyssey from Lake Superior to the sea.
Paddle-to-the-Sea is a 1941 children's book, written and illustrated by American author/artist Holling C. Holling. At Lake Nipigon, Canada, a native boy carves a wooden model of an Indian in a canoe and sets it free to travel the Great Lakes to the Atlantic ocean. The story follows the progress of the little wooden Indian on its journey through all five Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River, finally arriving at the Atlantic Ocean.
