What is poetry?

What do you think of this provocative theory of anti-poetry?

  • http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/gamahuch/antipoet.html Anti-poetry wash way the centuries of creative straight jacketing by the established 'critiques of poetry" accumulated from the past to the present. The present day fashionable 'critiques of poetry' are but one more heap of dross on the already mountainous heap. Hitherto all poets have accepted that the principles of poetry outlined by coteries of technicians are the basis and arbitrators of any valid poetry. Once Anti-poetry is established the centuries of accumulated 'critiques of poetry'-'toeing the line'- amount to no more than dross. With an alternative to established poetry orthodoxy loses its straight jacketing hold and we arrive at the break up of language, the genesis of new language, we arrive at freedom. . This amounts to a 'critique of poetry' discourse becomes free the endless squabbling of middle class technicians, like a nagging housewife stops. Anti poetry amounts to the freeing of discourse.-to the invention of language.
