poetry, it has been said, should no longer use mnemonic tactics but should become an object of memory.
how is it, that i can hum a whole movement of a mahler symphony or a bach cantata or even some xenakis percussion pieces but have a hard time humming anything that is called contemporary (with notable exceptions)?
is it because i haven't learned how to hum this yet or because it's un-hum-worthy?
why should we be ashamed of humming?
why is rhyme dead?
why is poetry
