ah, is not my type to criticize someone’s ideas, but Cherles Bernstein affirmations intrigue me. I certainly do not agreed with him by simple fact that he’s limiting our thinking. what it differentiate us one from another, is our inner thinking. most of us share same living conditions, but when Bernstein is pointing where the formation of poems resides, it just turn me over.
The marix of social and historical relations are more significant? than any personal qualities of the life or voice of the author? is like you are living, thinking and working for somebody. What do you think? what about your thoughts? can you ever describe what you are felling if your inner voice cannot be heard?
the personal qualities shape the concept of the text, or the poem without being influenced by the society.
