Dear Pound List members, I would like to draw your attention to the following articles by Paul Lake concerning the analogies between science and free verse (in which Modernism and Ezra Pound figure prominently). "The Shape of Poetry": http://www.cprw.com/Lake/ShapeofPoetry.htm "Disorderly Orders": http://www.cprw.com/Lake/orders.htm In my opinion, Mr. Lake has provided some of the most acute analysis on the degeneracy of contemporary poetry and its causes. Regards, Garrick Davis editor Contemporary Poetry Review (www.cprw.com)
