>Marjorie Perloff—Wittgenstein's Ladder: Poetic Language and the Strangeness of the Ordinary
entertaining, user-friendly application of wittgensteinian analysis and concepts to modern and postmodern poetry
perloff is a generally interesting critic in her own right

p good
his descriptivism was mostly trashed by kripke and his attempts to found math were mostly misguided and failed but he was a great activist and pillar of positive intellectualism
developed the basic formal logic sign system, complicated set theory, etc.
hard to think about how math or logic would be without him
severely underrated as a philosopher, as well-known as he is
plus he fucked pretty much everyone

it doesn't really make sense or keep with the vocab level like you said either
go with silences over screaming though:
"The florid, sordid silences"

>> No.3728150 [View]

>>3728133
i like that better. the 'florid sordid' part is the obv. keeper in the line
'a florid sordid syncope' idk
the rest isn't that language-driven so i wouldn't overdo it

fuck off op

>> No.3728107 [View]

it starts out ok
lose or redo the last four lines. the last two especially keeping tone in mind
also might not want to make the subject so explicit as "the boy"
the last line of the first stanza could be reworked; "screaming" is too obvious

ware is probably the most technically accomplished comics artist working today, but he tells the same needlessly unpleasant, trite, self-pitying story over and over again

good, i guess. i dunno

> later Christian poetry
different from his earlier work but good. more insular than his earlier work and more difficult, imo

i was actually planning on going through four quartets again this weekend

when you read 'parts of a world' did you see it as a re-presentation of the landscape presented in 'harmonium'?

do you think that's all that's going on, though?

now that you say it, it's interesting to think about what you can do with ekphrasis once you do make the leap into describing reactions to reactions-as-objects. it seems like you could partially sublimate and utilize a lot of that postmodern hyperselfconsciousness that way
interesting. i'll have to revisit some of his stuff with that in mind

you don't think there's value in ekphrasis?

>I do not "get" John Ashbery.
yeah me neither. i've read a good deal of him too. nothing ever clicked. the imagery isn't very inspired on its own and doesn't seem to amount to anything, and the lines aren't musical or atonal in the slightest. it's not even antiart. he's well received but who knows.

>he's more influenced by painters than poets; how can you trust him?
kandinsky was influenced by shoenberg. overlap of mediums and areas are generally a good thing. cp snow talks about poets using scientific language when scientism was the new thing, and maybe that's kind of what ashbery is doing but with pop culture and artspeak. i'd like to see more of that used in a different way.

it's what most people have always wanted, why get mad?

i think james patterson is pretty fascinating

same for other people who shit out 200+ novels over the course of their careers. sounds like patterson could have been successful on a literary basis though.
