[Seven by Nine Squares home page] [Neoist Path]
One thing I definitely did invent
is Monty Cantsin, the open pop star. I did not do this
alone, I did it in Portland, Oregon with the very first Monty Cantsin,
a Lithunian puppet player named Maris Kundzins. Maris and I sent
a card to Kantor in Montreal, You are Monty Cantsin, the
open pop star. Well, I have to assert what
Kantor did with
this simple postcard belongs to history. The idea that people can
share their identity is a very good one I think. My own
understanding of Neoism is that is is about resolving contradictions
by reinforcing them, putting personal agendas aside, though not
always seeming to.
