I really had fun when Christian Bok came to our class. I found him to be very bright and entertaining. I was quite embarrassed when we had to perform. At first I felt like a chicken, but once we warmed up and we participated as a class I began to enjoy sound poetry.
Later on that night, when we had a chance to listen to some of his other work, I found it to be a little weird. I wondered what was he thinking while creating most of his works. I bet he disrupted the entire second floor of Sykes when he performed that monster from the opera Bok was in. No wonder he said that there is not many of his kind left, because no one else would do that!
However, I know what he meant when he said there is no one as good as him in his genre left as he referred to himself as being the "top dog of sound poetry." Knowing this particular case, whether he is acting out a lunatic monster or performing his Mario/Lego poetry, he is never the only one. He might be the best for now, but I definitely agree with Theo when she says, "only until someone else breaks and goes beyond Christian Bok's barrier."
