SOME TREES OUT OF A HUGE FOREST Used Poem: "Some Trees" by John Ashbery The "Mesostomatic" Poem I got using the program: Each neighBor by spEech were Arranging yoU and I in whaT performance not merelY chance means sOmething Filled with Canvas puzzling ligHt And being there and moviNg our days suCh reticence these sEem defense. I chose option A in this assignment because the idea of being able to create as many "automatic poems" as you would like to with the aid of a computer program piqued my curiosity. I have to admit that I had to try several times to obtain a poem without errors from the selected text, but my pleasure with the final result made up for all the effort. I had great fun too! I finally selected the poem "Some Trees" by Ashbery, firstly because I was deeply impressed by its close reading and then because I thought that it was an appropriate poem to give further meaning to the concept of chance. Because in this aleatory process creating the Mesostic poem, chance has a great deal of importance, but at the same time, adding the wing words and writing the spine, you can somehow unconsciously interfere with the result. As the branches of the trees in Ashbery's poem, which arrange by chance to meet and dance together, or the lovely accidental side of any relationship, in this new reduced poem, I find a freshly and even liberating sense in the words. They become the highest reality. Trying to do a close reading of the poem, I'd say that for me it talks about meetings. Meetings in the general sense, two lovers, an artist and a new idea, a reader and a poem, a subtle and elegant courtship, any kind of meeting, of getting to know something or someone who didn't exist before. Meetings which may seem to be casual or even meaningless, but at the same time, they have a reason to be, they are performed, they exist so we (the readers, the lovers, or both!) can move forward, overcoming any formal and conventional obstacle which might be found on their way and becoming something completely different in the process. And out of all the huge forest of words, the program and I chose only some of them, so chance creates a new quality, a new interpretation for these words, there is an accidental intention which somehow gives homage to Ashbery's poem, and why not, it creates new and unadulterated beauty out of it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Comparing him to T.S. Eliot, Stephanie Burt writes that Ashbery is "the last figure whom half of the English-language poets alive thought a great model, and the other half thought incomprehensible." After the publication of Some Trees, selecting judge W.H. Auden famously confessed that he didn't understand a word of it. Most reviews were negative. But in this first book of poems from one of the century's most important poets, one finds the seeds of Ashbery's oeuvre, including the influence of French surrealists-many of whom he translated-and abstract expressionism"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
