|In theatre, Brecht in particular talked about the importance of gestic
|language, or gestus - that is, language which grows out of action, or is
|action, or begets action. The idea of gestus is also linked to orality
|(certainly writing for live performance is predicated on a the actual
|physical presence of a performer and what that means for utterance) and
|therefore a literal idea of presence: and this quality of language is one
|that poetry plays with. If you think that a poem is a text in which the
|bodily nature of language is foregrounded - its relation to breath,
|tongue, lips, muscle, its visual and audial qualities - they are also
|qualities of gestic language.
