“IN PERSIA I SAW that poetry is meant to be set to music & chanted or sung--for one reason alone--because it works.A right combination of image & tune plunges the audience into a hal (something between emotional/aesthetic mood & trance of hyperawareness), outbursts of weeping, fits of dancing--measurable physical response to art. For us the link between poetry & body died with the bardic era--we read under the influence of a cartesian anaesthetic gas.” ArtReasonBodyAudienceSawsInfluenceEmotionalFitDiedDancingResponseMoodErasCombinationGasTunesPoetry IsLinksMeant To BeAestheticWeepingPlungeTranceOutburstPersia Author:Hakim
