// Preliminaries //

‘THE YOUNG-GIRL RESEMBLES HER PHOTO’

i

Let’s be clear: the concept of the Young-Girl is obviously not a gendered concept.

ii

Behind every Young-Girl’s arse hides a bunch of rich white men: the task is surely not, then, to destroy the Young-Girl, but to destroy the system that makes her, and makes her so unhappy, whoever she is.

YGRG started in autumn of 2013 in Berlin.

// The Young Girl Reading Group as Phenomenon //

Beyond the tide, the first lines, and the last full stop, beyond its internal configuration and its autonomous form, YGRG is caught up in a system of references to other texts, other sentences: it is a node within network.

We are all bot-poets.

Our identities are somewhat interchangeable, ratifiable.
