No. Doing something well is not inherently the same as doing something good. “but if the intent is to write a bad poem, and that intent is met, does it not become a good poem?”

No. Doing something well is not inherently the same as doing something good.

But only because I sent in some poems a month ago: http://www.verybadpoetry.com/people/show/mattjasper/ It is up to us all to make bad poetry better. Or worse. I can't sort out the contradiction either. I'd also like to thank the folks at NOO for taking bad lines and titles I made and transmogrifying them into astonishingly good bad poems: (linked to via this because I think NOO has switched to RAD poetry. Please hire them to write your next poem for you. They are brilliant and need the money. I plan on hiring others to write all of the poems in my next book. It would have to be better. ) http://www.gillesdeleuzecommittedsuicideandsowilldrphil.com/2008/05/pistol-press-matt-jasper.html "Also: NOO Journal released a mini-chapbook of bad poetry. They do a bad poetry fundraiser where you can pay a couple bucks and people will write bad poems for you. I wrote a couple once, and one is in this echapbook: Matt Jasper: A Collection of Bad Poetry. I don't know who Matt Jasper is, but the poems in it are funny, including shit by K. Silem Mohammed, Tao Lin, etc.etc. Posted by BLAKE BUTLER at 4:58 PM Labels: bad poetry, pistol press" Also: about two thirds of my readers complain that my book (Moth Moon) makes no sense at all. I try to convince them that this is because it's perfectly isomorphic with the topic and language of schizophrenia but so far only about five people believe me. Uninteresting at times, yes.
