Untitled

I've expanded this stub and would like to continue upgrading it. I'm also currently working on Modernist poetry, and many of the sources I'll be using there should result in material that can be used to create further sections here. I expect this article to cooperate with the mentioned existing articles on figures of speech and on meter, but to be distinct from them in a focus on large-scale concerns that are more theoretical.

This is rather horrid for such a broad and meaningful topic. Please improve. 76.122.18.1 (talk) 03:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Improvement required

This article is in much need of improvement. In particular, the second section of the article refers far too much to a specific interpretation of poetics, rather than to the topic of poetics generally. Probably far more important would be an overview of the various theories of poetics, these being objectivism, formilism and Aristotelianism.

Also, I am not sure I understand why this is ranked of low importancce, where this concerns the overarching theories of poetry (and perhaps drama as well). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.84.248.99 (talk) 14:31, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Emily Dickinson section

I am really unclear why imagery and a Dickinson poem are topics covered in an article on poetics.--MDesiree13 (talk) 18:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed that section, as it was not readily apparent in what way it was related to the subject at hand. --Saddhiyama (talk) 22:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
