Proposal Title
Becoming a Contemporary Poet
Abstract
The past literary “scholars” of our subjective discourse have all shared a common way of spending their lethargic lives. The most eminent of attractions being comparing and contrasting. This is not completely unreasonable, regarding the most sacred literary journal (Plato’s theory of education) suggests “education is used as equivalent to “experience,” the experience of a living organism interacting with its normal environment” This was to be proven by years of orderly scholar distaste/praise of egomaniacs, Blake and Johnson. It wasn’t until, Ezra Pound’s “ABC of reading” which prophesied the subsequent abandonment of the pretentious, conventional conferences, and the readers who are now “content NOT to go to the founatin-head, (and) he can indubitably find a fair competence in short-story writing in current publications.” This emancipation being finally heard, allowed contemporary’s to be compared to the sacrilegious literary “masters”. And as this activity has been deprived continuously through the generations, I have upheld Pound’s proclamation like a crucifix and tried to take contemporary toiled iraqi poet, Amal Al Jobouri, and compare her to the “greats” of literature. In doing so, I created an essay including comparisons of Amal al Jubouri to Bertolt Brecht, T.S. Elliot, and Allen Ginsberg.
