Doug,
One thing that strikes me in discussions of form in general is that form is
often understood as a kind of architecture (sonnet, rhyme scheme, stanza,
metrics, etc.) Not to knock our traditions, which are deep and wide, there
is another form I think of, forms of consciousness and how that shapes
experience/language. I would offer your own bpNichol as an example of how
consciousness shapes the form of poetry. Just a thought.
