Lavish Syntax, A Craft Talk with Rick Barot
Poetry at Bennington—Spring 2025
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | The problem at the heart of writing a poem is the problem of dramatization. That is, how do we dramatize in language—a very limited means—the dynamics of thought, sensation, mystery, knowledge, and unsayability that often comprise human experience? In this lecture, we’ll examine the crucial importance of syntax in vitalizing a poem. We’ll look at poems with powerful content and the syntactical correlatives the poets use in dramatizing that content.
