[arkava das]

good question but done to death like ptd out. going by oed, formal is an adjective which means

having a conventionally recognized form, structure, or set of rules

now conceptual poetry has been hyped so much it is the new convention. it's like a serious polite swordfight w/ sticks. this stand off. everyone plays their parts. the formals sneering at the not so new brigade and the not so new brigade responding w/ awful invocations of the avant garde .

so the answer is a clear yes/no. a massproducd yes/no
