[New-Poetry] Re: Solved by substitution of terms

[David Baratier]

cris, Bob--
   
  my point too, the definition of image differs in the mainstream but also (more importantly?) between poets depending how widely they have experienced poems. And the area of sound is not covered. Hearing a recording of Schwitters that Pierre Joris played sometime ago ( I am thinking it was UR sonatta) changed my notion not only of what comprises a poem but also what images are and how they flash to mind. Especially considering that what occurs for a non-German speaking listener as the parts of speech were entirely different and I would guess that the glimpses that came to me from the recording were in no way related to the original intent for a hearer fluent in the language.  



Be well
