I find that the point you are making here is quite interesting. And useful and requires some reflection; the mind body thing and the verse prose thing andthe wave particle thing; perhaps its best to see them as all being merely various ways of seeing the figure and ground, the tweedledee and tweedledum, the shem and shaun, the cain and able, the greek and jew the body and soul, the female and male the ying and yang and so on: its not a matter for contradiction but one of levels and placement and relation; I see no necessary exclusion of one to the other; its a leaves of grass thing; parts of the parsing literary machine; plateaus, the connections of various parts and verses and adveses and reverses, the works of the word in regree digress; a detour of jazz; of improvization; etc. --- >From: Joseph Duemer <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Poetryetc provides a venue for a dialogue relating to poetry and > poetics <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: Prose poem >Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 09:14:42 +1200 > >The prose / verse distinction is rather like the mind / body >distinction--looked at from one perspective, the differences are >irreconcilable; looked at from another perspective, the differences >don't exist.
