Hey, folks,
So it's Hill v. Duffy in
the lightning round. Seems like a variant of the 'many things in few words' argument, with a modern take. I have no idea what 'policing her patch' means. Perhaps our British friends could enlighten us? Nor have I ever seen a Mills & Boon text, so I'm missing some nuance.
But the lecture did contain this little gem: "Poetry is lines in depth designed to be seen in relation or in deliberate disrelation to lines above and below."
On the lighter side: as deliberate provocations go, it's hard to beat describing someone else's language as "cast-off bits of oligarchical commodity English..."
There must be some subtext here I'm not getting, but it's an interesting read.
Thanks,
Bill
