Hi Bill,
>Anyone can write a poem.
Poems are only read by poets.
Therefore, anyone can read a poem.<
Heh! OK, now I'm so disorientated I don't know where I live :-)
By the way, your 'Chewing the clarity' post put a lot of things in
their right order -- much appreciated.
>Shelley was in the Masons<
An apocryphal tale suggests that his apron became snagged in
the rollocks, thus hampering his escape from the sinking clipper.
Couldn't swim either, mind you, so it's perhaps an academic point.
Alison --
>Enzensberger suggests the current crisis in literary authority is to do
with the demise of the bourgeois class which in fact fostered it since the
Enlightenment, and that we're now returning to a kind of medieaval state, in
which poetry is known and loved by a very few.<
Interesting idea -- thanks for posting. Much to consider . . .
Andy
