The way poetry might get called "experimental" or "post-avant", thus less pallatable to a common audience. Is that really what a poem does, try to achieve "rightness"? Am I being hasty? Anyway the least interesting poetry I can imagine is poetry that operates from "common aesthetic principles".Mike Hauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008007361237334363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759353.post-1158255365423396112006-09-14T12:36:00.000-05:002006-09-14T12:36:00.000-05:00My point is that different "aesthetics" are compar...My point is that different "aesthetics" are comparable, that they aren't these separate monads within which everything is valid.
