Just a reminder that the views and opinions published on the Poetry Project’s website and in the Poetry Project Newsletter are those of their individual authors and are not necessarily those of the Poetry Project.

wow…you people really know how to stroke each others egos…comparing a meterless post modern poet to mallarme? mallarme was insistent on form and meter as vehicles for contextual meaning.how can a poem that lacks even the rudimentary devices of sound be compared to mallarme? have you even read him in french? it does not do the sleeping beast of poetry any good to tell people that their work is impressive when its not.

Hi Bob
I was glad to receive your comment. It is, as you know, necessary to “get one’s hand’s dirty” if we (all of us) are ever going to offer each other anything in the way of conversation.
Hope all is well with you,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the illuminating discussion.
As with most worthwhile remarks on poetry and visual art, these encourage one to slow down, open up, look again.
You explicate and offer the poems with a spirit of generosity.
Best,
Robert
