Georgette writes very traditional poetry, but some of her friends & acquaintances think her poetry is very avant-garde. How come?? | ||

Do they not know much about poetry? Does she write a specific type of poetry, and is the type relevant? Do some of her other friends/acquaintances consider her poetry traditional? Does she? Does Georgette write traditional poetry about avant-garde subjects? Perhaps she writes science-fiction? Is poetry the only relevant art form? Which of the following, if any, are relevant? - location - time period - ethnicity - age - gender - level of education | ||

Location = yope because it could occur in any of a number of places (like, say, any Western country or anywhere in Africa)? Time period -- LTPF list of centuries. So, her poetry is traditional. Some of her friends recognize this, but others think it's avant-garde because they are unfamiliar with poetry? Could they be educated to learn otherwise? Was the poetry published? If so, is the form relevant? The publication? Is the subject of the poem relevant? The length? Anyone besides Georgette and her friends/acquaintances relevant? | ||

do some people think the poetry avant garde because of where it is published? because of a nom de plume used? because of the other things published alongside it? because of pictures used to illustrate it? because of the font used? because of the punctuation used? | ||

when you say 'traditional' do you mean 'conventional' - as in, the way most people would do it? or do you mean it's according to some particular tradition? perhaps a very old tradition? or the tradition od a specific culture? are the poems written to produce a particular shape visually when looked at as a whole? a shape that relates to their content? | ||

Is there a problem with how certain browswers display the poems? A problem concerning linebreaks? colours? text size? Wrong rendering of ordinary text? Graphics? Frames relevant? JavaScript? Flash? Or is the problem that some of Georgettes friends are inexperienced in using the internet? Have they no internet access at all? A very slow connection? Do they make mistakes in using a program? Do they simply think that something which is published online must be avant-garde? | ||

Neither is Georgette, no big surprise, since I'm Georgette. One of the places that publishes my poems is the same newspaper that runs my monthly column. They publish the poems at the bottom of the editorial page, like editorials, & there are print & online versions. So I figured that the easiest way to e-mail the poems to my out-of state friends was just to copy what was in the online version & paste it into the body of an e-mail. To my surprise, many (but not all) recipients said they didn't understand the poems & asked if they were experimental, etc. Eventually, I found out that my friends were getting an unintelligible collection of lines & letters, because I was committing a cardinal Internet sin. NEVER COPY SOMETHING FROM A WEB PAGE & PASTE IT INTO THE BODY OF AN E-MAIL--at least not if you have my sort of computer (a Mac), which isn't set up for that. What I should I have done was copied the link or turned the poem itself into a Word attachment. The funniest part of this was that people seem to take it for granted that published poetry could be gibberish. No one I sent the poems to suggested that there might be a computer glitch! Thanks for sticking with it, everyone, & for solving it, Markobr, & please attack my new puzzle you-know-where. |
