1 RIDERS:
Thanks Clay for re-posting this essay--good stuff! I just read the Spicer portion (I'm writing this from my in-laws on Thanksgiving...), and am certainly no expert on Spicer or his poetics, but I don't really see why Spicer could be both playing a game, as well as being, as Blaser asserts, quite serious.
I guess, from my perspective, Spicer, by declaring his poetry to be a game, in no way precludes it from being absolutely serious. Doesn't all magic work that way? Life is always simultaneously both--how could it be either/or?
