Comment on Cecilia Vicuna’s Spit Temple

This weeks assigned reading and listening is really illuminating. Throughout the readings I’ve come to realize how different Written Poetry is from Performed one. Performance as witnessed here adds a meaning to the meaning. It allows people to understand better and better yet to get involved in whatever idea being communicated. At first, I got lost trying to figure out the meaning the poet is trying to convey. Several lines later, the task became easier. If there is one idea should be abandoned, it would be the rules of conventional poetry writing; for postmodern poetry is breaking out from the conventional rules of poetry. The idea that language is a myth is so fascinating ! Language is really a thread or a sequences of voices or sounds, yet it carries all the meaning.

Generally speaking, regardless of all the vagueness and obscurity, This weeks reading was a good read.
