I wonder what role poetics has, or should have, in distancing pain.

Yeah I know that essay already, I think. Totally helpful  poetics.
It really doesn't have 'that'  history?

Hello Luke,

This sounds very like Denise Levertov's concept of "organic form." But maybe you know her essay: “Some Notes on Organic Form":

That's not going to make sense... I mean to emphasize 'latent', that any attempt at poetry already contains its ideal form, to be brought out be shaping it. I'm reminded of Eliot's phrase I saw in a (poetics!) encyclopedia about each word  needing to be "at home" (in Little Gidding). Does that phrase mean anything like that: the poem should end up making its language?

It must be a 'thing' for someone in the history of poetics? Just if I could google
