Writing, to me, is making a sculpture. It becomes an object in front of me, and it's fascinating to change a word here and there or add another sentence but then decide to take half of it away. I also like working with an editor because, at that point, it becomes something out of your hands, and it is interesting to see how others would make their version of the piece. Also, keep in mind I don't have to agree with the editor, but in my case, it has always been a happy relationship.
Blanchot mentioned briefly in frederic jameson's last book about post ww2 french thinkers... a royalist in the 30's became a darling of the left by the 60's....
i "write" cut up poetry so the process is all an editing game. .. using syntax analogous to how fischli and weiss used simple physics in "the way things go"
