Second of two programmes by J. M. Cohen
The Pure Experience
Mr. Cohen examines the claim of the Chilean poet Nicanor Parra that every important poetic movement has been followed by an anti-poetic reaction. In disputing this claim he advances his own definition of anti-poetry and illustrates his arguments by poems chosen from a wide field. This programme considers the positive qualities he finds in anti-poetry.
