yeah i think you answered your own question there. it's slippery tho.I guess syllables are generative tools and thinking with larger units can turn into a mimetic exercise
I was under the impression it was some architect in perhaps the '20s, but according to Wikipedia the actual first instance was a bloke called John Watkins Chapman discussing painting in 1870.first man to use the term postmodern
I get the sense that poets are never writing about exclusively poetry"A poem is energy transferred from where the poet got it (he will have some several causations), by way of the poem itself to, all the way over to, the reader."
I like this sentence cos you could take poem/poet/reader out and swap them round eg film/filmmaker/viewer and have some fun with it.
but it's also good to do a basic restatement of whats going on.
yes that's true - poets consider themselves the ur-unit for all artists, is my impression.I get the sense that poets are never writing about exclusively poetry
i'm confused tho - is the syllable what we commonly take to be a syllable ie a sound not necessarily a word, or does the syllable have to be is/not/be?

what do you take of the his insistence that the 'head shows in the syllable' ?
