any poetics that deserves our attention will always be reinventing itself.
It is in the nature of the poetic - it is a generative medium. Poetry
creates people as well as poems. That is to say, when you read a poem (or
view a picture, or whatever) you imagine a state into being, a state of self
that is predicated on an exchange between multiple selves. This is how
people are made. New poetics means new people. It happens everyday...
