Parataxis

Michael writes (and I accidentally deleted it!):

I've just begun listening to this series of podcasts, and I am enjoying them very much. I was wondering where I can go to read more about the "space" of poetry and/or theories of paratactic rhythm. Your explanation of these ideas are wonderful, and if you could point me in the direction of further reading I would really appreciate it.

Well that's very nice of you Michael. I don't know any texts that address parataxis in more detail than I've been doing but I'll keep my eye out.

  1. Tim, Al Filreis of PennSound and UPenn fame, recently posted this excerpt on parataxis from an article by Donald Davidson.

    Thought you might find it's conflation of grammatical and object status with politics to be interesting.
