Robert Creeley, 1983 July 25 Class, Part 2, 1983 July 25
Abstract
Robert Creeley presents a class focused on the moving what's "inside--the imaginable, emotional, and conceptual world of the writer--into contact with what's outside--the world of other people, events, and situations." Creeley presents certain LSD experiences as examples of what happens when an experience cannot connect to the wider social context of meaning, and contrasts science's concern with the general to art's concern with the exception. Other topics covered include the dangers of systematization in poetic technique, the dangers of limiting a text to what it means, the question of whether poetry should be "uplifting" and the lie of subjectivity and objectivity.
