I have a new poem in The New Yorker--.I'm thinking how Derrida said that to say what poetry "is" would be to renounce knowledge. The beautiful thing about poetry is its event of knowledge, never settling, always unfolding, IN the poem, between people:.

this is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time.
One of the best plot twists happens in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). It completely flips audience expectations and still hits hard decades later.

Difference IS the inner experience of love, vs the object of desire as distracting from the gaze outward to truly see (find pleasure?) paradoxically. To cry out, in longing, must not be a soliciting of object. (so psychodynamic!) It's advanced eroticism, and IS Epicurian IMO.

Rilke loves women who never obtain their objects of desire. And this is a very rich material to think about.

What I love about the "call" of the woo, is it requires no response, really. it's about the singing. Which brings back the dead, stirs objects, like Orpheus. But God, he understands, is not interested. Im seeing an almost Epicurian vibe in this resolution of divine indifference.

Rilke like: NO MORE LAME WOOING! then woo's everything at the utmost degree for 4 baller pages, all things seen & unseen, ending with " Don't think that I am wooing,/ Angel, and even if I were, you would not come. For my call / is always filled with departure". then woos God.

"Poetry might be defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings" WH Auden . precision is work. When students fight for unclear language as intentional I pause over the possibility one can be vague *&* precise, ambivalent & clear for the sake of words in mind&mouth of readers.
