ENG364Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Radio Art, Occasional Poetry, Synesthesia
Document Summary
Points and questions for discussion; don"t have to present the whole time. Saw poetry, music, and art as multidisciplinary/combined; collaboration of all forms. Allusion of intimacy in his work; different meanings for different people. Anything can be an occasion; occasional poetry. Letting form follow from content rather than a preset form. Art as a field of action rather than representation; more about the process. Image > the spoken word (ironic coming from a poet) Spontaneity of art; anything can be found in art. The very fear of failure becomes the poem itself. Difference in pronouns from singular to plural; personal to collective. Language of movement; celebration of the vibrant city. Feeling of nostalgia (created by the city, etc. ) Ephemerality; time something only exists in the current moment in new york city. Natural; not edited or polished but still has a flow to it. Idea of looking at something aesthetically pleasing in the current poem.
