"I've stated the same from time to time, Kaspar, but I think there's
more to it. In a brief post I mentioned the prestige of the sonnet
and an ironic take on same. Which is a way of saying that calling it
a sonnet places it in dialogue with the sonnet tradition."
absolutely, I've come across this reasoning often before. what then
arises is the question of where the purpose lies in creating a
dialogue with the tradition; to prove a point?
I don't know. I'm a little tired of definitions & categories, playing
off of them as a concept is one I enjoy but it's also more treading in
the same vein. not my cup of tea, I think suffices.
