[New-Poetry] 'The turn' has its own blog

[Bob Grumman]

I'm going to have the read the guy.  Sounds like he might be doing much 
what I've been doing as a critic for 35 years.  I've made up so many 
names for what I think he means by "turn" that I can't remember which 
one I now use.  Or exactly what I mean by it.  But it's not just 
something in poetics, but in all of art--and in jokes.  And Koestler had 
it in his aesthetics.  I was kidding when I mentioned my "clang," but 
surely that's pretty much the same thing?

I don't like "turn" as a poetics or art term, though.  Nor "clang."  I 
think it deserves and needs a more narrowly-focused and unique name.
