Meta-Poetics vol. 4: Remission Restatement
The professed goals of this present iteration of Anti-Poetry are hereby chartered as follows:
1. To exercise the English language to its full extent; exhausting every conceivable coinage within its written corpus while simultaneously crossing borders into neighboring lexicons like Franglais & Latin.
2. To bring archaic and defunct terminology back into circulation, chiefly as celebratory "camp". Also to plumb every possible meaning for any taken term.
3. The recapitulation of rhyming schemes will be utilized for the purpose of introducing variations on classical meters and themes.
4. Challenging the normalcy of self-centered auteurs is imperative. There's an unspoken distinction between those who work only for personal benefit and anyone who actually advances our overall art.
5. Have no fear about fielding neologisms. Wright out original witticisms to further ludic logic.
6. Instill in writers and instruct readers on novel ways of verbal expression, especially regarding metaphysical impression.
7. Demystify poetics while demonstrating the sway that language often has us under due to unconscious tendencies.
8. Turn every old adage and proverb upon its head. Leave no stanza unturned!
9. Inject Etymology, Linguistics, Philology, and Semiotics to revitalize versification. Incorporate technology, for instance:
Right Justification.
10. Raise the bar for future generations by letting loose unmatched fléchettes!
