i understand the idea here that presentation and pronunciation are as important to rhythm as rhyming words or other devices, however, it really just sounds like idiots trying to sound mystical and new age buddishm with gibberish or nonsensical phrases. remember that you are paying to learn about this in college, and as such, you should get a refund intro to poetry should be an intro to poetry styles as they were developed, from greek/roman to chants to romantic to modern- but there i am going with a a historical developmental approach again!
I agree. This is supposed to teach us about sound in poetry, how rhythm and inflection might create something more like music. And I don't mind that so much. BUT . . . when we spend 1.5 hours listening to just this, without any guidance or instruction from our professor about why we're listening to it, or what we should be listening for, it all becomes very frustrating. Even if that wasn't the case: it's just really weird. It's experimental stuff like this that makes me want to curl up in the corner and cry.
