Thoughts and Questions for Colie Collen

As our knowledge of Collen pertains to her role in Fence I think my questions would arise from the poets and themes we gathered from the magazine. In addition perhaps more logistical mechanical questions pertaining to the publishing process might come up at the roundtable. I would first ask her about the role of the past in the issue of Fence:

The artwork here superimposes the surreal or Dada onto the lithograph. Does this juxtaposition of earlier artistic ideas with modernist ones perhaps work into the idea of challenging assumptions which moves throughout Fence?

I would follow this past/present/challenging assumptions question with one about the abrasiveness of content and attack on decorum. Moreover, how such an abrasive quality works to reinterpret language and its connection with meaning, or present lack thereof.
