- Description
- Describes several ways of addressing modern "experimental poems 'as' criticism," and suggests that, adumbrating such metapoetic practice, the juxtaposition of Th and Mel "constitutes a wondering literary-theoretical response to Boethius' 'Consolation'" in which poetry (Th) "engages the senses" while prose (Mel) "engages the reason."
