It's too late for me... in all sorts of ways I mean.

Interesting reply though. I think that if I were a poet I would not be part of the scene, and who wants that:

I think Olson suggests that moral perception, “decently what one can know” (p252), adds etymological traction to our use of words. He enthuses about the “non-literate... non-historical constant daily experience of tracking any word” (250), and then claims that the literary is one half of a bisected parabala, so that the other, “typos”, my “bent”, “keeps all accompany circumstance” (p251). So despite Christensen's claim that Olson's insistence on experience “adds nothing to the discipline”, I think Olson's Collected Prose argues for a complex musical diction without the explicit study of etymology, even as a study of literature is necessary to orientate that to “the scene today” (p252). Of course, the fact that many contemporary poets do explicitly study linguistics complicates the possibility of the latter.

I think this is another symptom of the way in which an emphasis has shifted from the aim of 'poetry' being production of poetry to that of acquiring the status of 'poet'. So it doesn't matter whether you produce 'original' work but rather you exist within an apparatus wherein the title to work is assigned to you.

not acknowledging your source text as you write?

So e.g. if I can write a poem using 'April is the cruelest month' and in some sense free myself of its original meaning?

I have two months to read about it if it is a thing, as I hope.
