The book is considered an important work about art. Commentators have compared Bachelard's views to those of the philosopher Martin Heidegger. His Poetics (the surviving fragment of which is limited to an analysis of tragedy and epic poetry) has sometimes been dismissed as a recipe book for the writing of potboilers. Certainly, Aristotle is primarily interested in the theoretical construction of tragedy, much as an architect might… Read More Poetics of Place exhibition is a part of the Hertfordshire Year of Culture, focusing on six artists working and living in Hertfordshire.

[6] [7] [8] Reception [ edit ] It is rare to find an image of a river coupled to mathematics. Rivers are one of the most remarkable features in our landscape; their continuous movement portrays the flux and instability of nature and identity. In this poem Oswald arrests the idea of the river as an organic, fl owing force by positing the argument that such an energy source can be understood in terms accessible to our reductive, pattern-seeking cognitive engines (our ears and brains) by conceiving of it as “numerical.” But this sort of scientific language, which resonates with ideas of a static and fixed resource, is undermined by the poem’s diction. The technological idiom hints that the river is an entity vulnerable to possible methods of analysis in isolation and therefore to exploitation; however, the “workings” of the river foreground a process, the endless change and dynamism of the natural world. The “numerical workings” of the river can be calculated to a degree. If one understands the interdependency of all things in the world as suggested by the investigation that the poem proposes (into the tree, which results in finding the river, and vice versa), one can read the “workings” of the river as an element in one of the most remarkable processes on Earth, the hydrologic cycle: the continual fl ow of water from sea to cloud to river and into life forms along the way, providing all living organisms with two essential resources—hydrogen and oxygen.

is Aristotle’s remark in the Poetics that it should be clear without being “mean.” But subsequent generations of poets were more scrupulous in avoiding meanness than in cultivating clarity. Depending heavily on expressions used by previous poets, they evolved in time a language sprinkled with such archaic terms as eftsoons,… Read More Imogen Welch’s practice is concerned with recycling, re-presentation and transformation, often with autobiographical elements. By incorporating techniques more commonly found in craft, such as collage, frottage, mosaic, casting, and upholstery, her practice also references 'women's work' and folk art. discussed by Aristotle in the Poetics as an essential part of the plot of a tragedy, although anagnorisis occurs in comedy, epic, and, at a later date, the novel as well.

Jeremy Richards describes this sort of sensibility as a “shifting sense of place.” He suggests that a classic poet could stroll through a garden, stumble past a church, or kneel in the grass and feel sated and grounded. But today, he asks, “where is the poet’s sense of place? Itinerant, polluted, untethered? Tweeted?” Good questions when so much seems to changing and on the move. Here is Shelley Kirk-Rudeen writing about changes in Zumwalt Prairie in eastern Oregon: The connection between place and poetry is strong, diverse and bilateral. In this post I offer some brief, tentative thoughts on this connection, mostly by drawing on observations made by poets writing about place.
