Description
The Necessity of Poetics explores the concept of poetics and its application to innovative poetry. Robert Sheppard's work delves into the relationship between poetics, form, and consciousness, offering insights into the poetry and thought processes of various poets.
This collection also features an experimental essay on poetic rhythm, 'Pulse', which presents a new approach to understanding metrical and non-metrical shape. By bringing together theoretical perspectives with the experiences of poets, Sheppard sheds light on the cognitive nature of poetic form.
