Abstract
Is poetry in English still a continuity? A shared continuity? Does it have a structure not mechanical but alive, with strict motions of muscle and torso that are not private contortions but a general language, a shared yet nonverbal language? If the answer to these questions is, as here assumed,' yes, then why is the assumption not widely shared? Why do the majority of writers and readers today answer these questions with no? Something is wrong when the self-evident isn't evident, not even to the most thoughtful and sensitive readers of poetry, who cannot be dismissed as philistines.
