Abstract

This article, titled "(How) Is Poetry Possible? A Verse Mutiny," explores the questions of how writing about poetry and writing poetry itself are possible. The author, a poet, discusses the representation of poetry and the baggage that comes with it, including its Anglo-European perspective and influences from various cultures. They propose the concept of "nonpoetics" or "versing," which rejects the traditional relationship between the poet and their materials and emphasizes the poet as a component in the process of creating a poem. The author also discusses the importance of form and the role of letters and numbers in shaping poetry. [Extracted from the article]
