[TheOldMole]

I have to say it didn't do anything for me, and I went to it with high expectations.

    Can't help but take this opportunity to say, with a nod to Prof. Graham, that I'm ready to write off Gregg's article as crap  without even reading it, James.  But I'll read it.  It may give me something to slam in my blog entry for tomorrow.
  Bob, I think you'll like it...it's partly advocating using our visual senses more fully,
  with deep scrutiny and a wide-open aperture. Something that a vizpo poet couldn't too strenously disagree with. Here thesis, I think, is that the 'poetic' doesn't come from language
  and thus shouldn't start there; the poetic is resident in world around us and that's
  should be where we should first turn to find the poem. We then convert the elements we find in the world into the verbal images and diction that will convey them to reader. If you start in language you'll end up with more hollow poem.

  FYI...This may be my last post for next 10 days. I know you'll miss me.
