- Title
Poetry and Meaninglessness Part I of IV: The Pleasures of Gestalts.
- Authors
ZWICKY, JAN
- Abstract
The article discusses the intersecting factors governing the rise of meaningless poetry including the rise of Dada and high modernism, the lack of education in distinguishing difficult compositions from meaningless ones, and the difficulty of achieving or appreciating genuine lyric vision. It also includes information on Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka's demonstration of melody as the basic form of intelligence. It suggests that writing must move the reader's emotion.
