Tschinag and Groddeck
The journal entry that was read provided insight to the understanding of what poetry is supposed to be. As was written, there is a sense of confusion to the true meaning of poetry. When the post states, "I had always believed poetry to be authentic," I also believed those thoughts to be true in the superficial sense. Poetry has to be authentic if it comes from one's own thoughts about their world. Poetry is a method of expressing oneself in figurative and imaginative ways. Just as was said, Shakespeare is the first person thought of when considering poetry written about love and vengeance. It is a sense of romanticism that no longer seems to exist, and that no other poet since then has been able to successfully replicate. I agree with the post's ideas of poetry being difficult, and sometimes seemingly impossible to comprehend. It provided...
I agree with the post and its interpretation of Groddeck and Tschinag's view on nature and poetry. It is nature, and one's own interpretation of the world around us that make the writing of poetry possible.

Tshcinag and Groddeck What drew me to the poem? I am always curious and fascinated at poetic mysteries. That is, what is the poet really talking about? What line or lines offers a clue (or clues) to the purpose of the poem? The post itself is somewhat confusing and even vague.

Defense of Poetry," Mongolian poet Galsan Tschinag defines poetry as the "interrelation between Nature and Man." Although writing about completely different types of poetry and poets, Robert Bly comes to similar conclusions about the function of poetry. In "A Meditation on a Poem by Goethe," Bly states that during the early twentieth century, there was a crossroads in literature. The dominant form of literature was author- or poet-focused. With

Mongolian poet Galsan Tschinag, poetry is "an enormous counter-force against the oppressing weight of the material world." Robert Bly expresses a similar sentiment in "A Meditation on a Poem by Goethe." In "A Meditation on a Poem by Goethe," Bly reflects on Georg Groddeck's essay "Charakter and Typus," a psychoanalytic essay that exemplifies a new era of human consciousness, according to Bly. Bly notes that Goethe's poem "Wanderers Nachtlied
Etheridge Knight is effectively explained as an example of Whitman calls and egalitarian poem. At the same time, the analysis acknowledges that Knight finds himself forced to use language which some people would find offensive or even inappropriate. Rather than an unintentional slipping into common vernacular, this author explains that Knight's usage of profanity is an intentional commentary on the marginalization experienced by people in minority groups. The fact
