| dc.description | Hugh Fox in his THE LIVING UNDERGROUND describes Alan Britt's poetry: "His logic is constructed of 'things' ('piano keys are thrown at car tires') and is an excursion into'thing-metaphysics' whereby nothing is categorized or abstracted and all abstract meaning-connections have to be made by the reader ............ functionally his poetry hits the reader with bullet-packages of tightly knit thing-thing juxtaposition.He is a modern metaphysical poet, a master of the unexpected juxtaposing of unlike images such as 'fingernail voice' or 'the book marked crease in his eyes.' This trait of unexpectedness in the midst of the commonplace produces a species of meta-reality one step removed from familiarity and ease. We are invited into a world of hard-impact sensuousness; our abstract stances are overturned and channelled into a magic universe constructed totally by the poet."</p><p>Fox correctly presents the philosophy of Thing Thingism,once called Linguistic Reality and Immanentism, with one exception. Thing Thing poets do not want the reader to make abstract meaning connections, to impose on our poetry themes or concepts from the familiar categories of experience. We want our poetry read as a direct experiential encounter with a language that is a creation born from a concentrative and intensified awareness of things in their full fragmentary condition at a dynamic and fluid moment in non linear time and space, and we want our readers to respond to our meanings as non-reductive and non-classifiable experience. We do not write"theme and execution"poetry, and we are not to be interpreted from past traditions such as surrealism (continued). | en_US |
