What is poetry?

Some people think this theory of anti-poetry is very stimulating What do you think?

  • The author argues that anti-poetry is the abuse of languge and the over throwing of all literary conventions. He argues that anti-poetry is all about destroying language so as to reinvent new poetry and forms. Language is to abused grammar and syntax spelling etc are all to violated inorder to create a new fresh vital language of poetry which is alive not like the ossified language we have now which is dead due to linguistic correctness. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ALL THIS at this site http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/gamahuch/antipoet.html

  • Answer:

    While it would take me some time to read through and digest all that's on that link, I do plan to look at it more closely later. For now, though, I will just offer this: Language is NOT dead or ossified due to linguistic correctness. In fact, I'd venture to say that as the years go by, there seem to be fewer people who know how to use language properly. Seems like "street" is the latest direction in which language is heading. Anti-poetry? You can't force such things. What's happening with language has been happening for centuries. Without any effort on anyone's part. Some things never change. Rather than fight it, why not embrace it? And if you happen to be one who loves language and words, use it to your advantage. Write something great!

If the author was purposely weaving comma splices and run on sentences into his ramblings to emphasize the effect of anti-poetry, I must say his technique was ineffective. I found it difficult to follow his train of thought. What was he going on about? S/he claims to be a proponent of anit-poetry because it allows greater freedom of expression (or so i think he's saying). But language is a medium, made smooth from years of grammatical refinement. If one ruptures the medium, and purposely disturbs it, then one intereferes with the transmission of the message. I can say no more, because I confess I really have no idea what he's talking about.

What's to argue about? What a CROCK. Poetry is freedom of speech and is already done in countless styles, purposes, languages and uses all forms of words and diction. The theory of 'anti-poetry' is a hypothesis that has no basis in fact and no purpose other than to attract attention to the author. His rant on poetry is a poem itself, get it? Who has to 'reinvent ' poetry in new forms? Just write it.

I do not agree. The evolution of expression has never stopped therefore this anti poetry is an idea without foundation. Thank you for this question.
