Description

We will endeavor, in this course, to encounter poetic speech. We will do so from both sides?as speaker and as hearer. The guiding intention of our discussion will be the development of an understanding of what poetic speech has been and might now be, which is to say, what human (or inhuman) purposes it might now serve, and how it might be crafted to better fulfill their intentions and/or impulses.
