[[ Red-Sky-Session ]] No 2 with Jacob-Samuel-Rose on Poetic-form
What is Form?
- [[ Poetic-Forms are rulesets that have been refined over years ]] that have been designed and codified over the years
- Rhythmic patterning and metre
- Stanza length and line length [[ poetic Form works differently in other languages ]]
[[ Poetic Form Does not Equal Structure ]]
- Structure is the way a poem’s thinking moves
- Eg. A turn is a shift in trajectory.
Form Can Open Things up by Constraint.
- A way to use Constrained-Writing to free your imagination. [
Form Can Be a Layer of Meaning.
Try Attempting Form in Stages.
- Eg for a Sonnet start with 14 lines, then add in Iambic pentameter, then add in the rhyme scheme
Inhabit a Form for a While. Live in it and See what it Does.
Novel Forms Are Unique Takes on Constrained Thinking.
- Eg. Golden-Shovel.
- Offer them for others
Read-Widely, Pay Attention to what Others Are Doing.
Leda & the Swan- Jaqueline Saphra
- Traditional form of white man. Twists it and makes it her own
- Rejection of traditional Sonnet form.
- Refuses to look away. Violence is not glamorised.
