Open Poetry

FAIN: FA-10844-74

Andrew K. Weatherhead
Unaffiliated independent scholar

To make a study of "open" poetry in America and Britain. Open poetry is poetry in which traditional temporal forms, (e.g., Sonnet) and are abandoned in favor of spatial forms. Parllels between modern painting and open poetry will be examined. Open poetry has received very little serious scholarly study to date.
