Pushing envelopes is good for art. But I'd have to read a whole book of these slowly over a few weeks. Language poetry (how I would categorize this book) tends to give me a headache. Not necessarily a bad thing to be shaken out of my complacency.Lakedivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022549019973621167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081959.post-30035316046576399542009-05-06T12:14:00.000-03:002009-05-06T12:14:00.000-03:00Carol, thanks for posting Kaisa's work!

Anyway, I write often about the similar topics, somewhat "confessional" poetry, but I try to use more form and poetic devices in my work. There is a lot of abstract language as opposed to metaphorical language in this work. Some of it reads, to me, like prose with mixed up syntax.nancy jeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081959.post-40021477457742690932009-05-06T09:12:00.000-03:002009-05-06T09:12:00.000-03:00I like these poems.

I've done some experiments to see if syntax alone can convey meaning, and I think it can, but to throw syntax to the wind is even more interesting. If you could record the words as they are produced by a brain working in an anxious or confused state, or trying to work itself out of this state, it might sound like this.kwhttp://katherinewilliams.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081959.post-65045507907070054952009-05-06T09:07:00.000-03:002009-05-06T09:07:00.000-03:00Carol, I wanted to read more about this book and p...Carol, I wanted to read more about this book and poet after reading your post.
