What the _____ Man? Poetry Again? (Poetry Marathon 2022 – Hour 8)<\/p>\n
People think that poetry as an art form has died
\nThere is nothing left to say after you get rid of rhythm and rhyme<\/p>\n
Stream of consciousness writing creating structural associations
\nThat only the writer, if anyone, truly comprehends (TS Eliot tried to crawl
\n his way out of this conundrum or perhaps paradox)
\nModernism, post modernism, surrealism, impressionism, expressionism
\n Abstract impressionism, abstract expressionism, realism, super realism
\n Deconstructionism<\/p>\n
As analytic devices are fine to comment on other forms of art
\nBut poetry by definition <\/p>\n
Needs structure
\nAs certainly maintained by anyone who has ever and only read Trees by Joyce Kilmer<\/p>\n
What is poetry after all but words on a page
\nPeople think that poetry as an art form has died<\/p>\n
As analytic devices are fine to comment on other forms of art
\nAre the words too hot to touch after prosody is cancelled (or should we say eliminated, or should we say no longer needed once writing was invented)
\nHave you ever tried to memorize ee cummings <\/p>\n
TS Eliot had his comings and goings, and had his women coming and going (was
\n there a pun involved?)
\nWould he really have been happier living at the bottom of the sea? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
