Two 000 Questions from the audience
027 Does the poet write with a potential reader in mind? – is there a relationship of trust with the audience?
052 Blaser answers that in the public world there is no place for a language made abstract and transparent, and that the role of the poem is to put the particularities of experience in the world, making a dialectic of “binding”. He says as long as the
090 dialectic is experiential the readership can include everyone
141 Cooperman says for him the poem is a catalyst with an objective shape
208 Blaser says that every methodology is a record of belief
248 Bernard Curtin asks about the social responsibility of the poet in a capitalist system
275 Blaser says that the poet has an absolute social responsibility, but that language extends beyond the social
342 Lionel Kearns says he sees poetry as a kind of superior propaganda
370 Bowering says perhaps the fault lies in reading the wrong poets, and that the poets responsibility is to avoid exploiting language, and thus, the people who use it
445 Cooperman speaks of poetry and social responsibility
480 Candelaria reads the poem “Boundary Bay”
494 Kearns reads “Trap”
519 Cooperman reads “Flyleaf”
534 Bowering reads “The Body” from Autobiology
565 Blaser reads the last of The Moth Poems
