Poetry and Philosophy as Handlung: A Tactical Sequence
Poetry and Philosophy as Handlung offers a series of verbal “doing its” in which there is significant complicity between sentences, but plenty of dissonance to slip in the spices that define the peculiar aroma of the era at hand. For that reason, a tactical sequence accords literary space for time and place to herald themselves, for the temporal feel to remain prominent. For a tactical sequence to take place, all that is required is the transcurrence of a text’s language, for the text to be open and not to prejudice even its own immediate future.
