a discussion with Nathaniel TarnSunday, March 7, 2pmat DinnerwareNathaniel Tarn writes: “One subject I am always interested in is the question of simplicity/complexity in poetry and the sociological factors involved in creating each. I am genuinely interested in peoples' ideas about this so that an interactive seminar would be best for me.” You might want to look at Tarn’s essay “Regarding the Issue of ‘New Forms’” before the discussion.
