A funny thing happened on the way to Wallace Stevens' later poetry

[TranquillityBase]

I conveniently was shown an advert for this book, last night: Telling Silence: Thresholds to No Where in Ordinary Experiences by Charles E. Scott, Hardcover | Barnes & Noble® (barnesandnoble.com) , but look at the price. I found a video that seems to sum it up. If only they didn't make the guy stare into the sun for the last half of the interview. A Philosophy of Silence: Charles E. Scott's 'Telling Silence' (Nietzsche, Foucault, and Poeisis) - YouTube


It would have also been better without the music and stock footage that occasionally shows up over the conversation. But maybe they were proving a point.

Thanks for the Utter Silence discussion.  Most philosophy goes in one of my ears and out the other, but I did enjoy what he had to say about poetry (Which conveniently took us back to Wallace Stevens) and his "true story" at the end of the talk.  

Yeah, the music and imagistic videos interpersed were a serious distraction.  I saw a link to a version without the music when I looked at the description (after I'd already watched it).  And I was waiting for him to say something about the "damned sun in my eyes".  As an Oklahoma boy, he should have.
