Subject: Proto-Mind Writing Slogans Class
Allen reviews some of the "homemade" poetic sayings which became "Mind Writing Slogans". These very practical and concrete poetic techniques sum up a century and a half of literary consciousness and became the foundation of AG's idea of writing as a spiritual discipline. Around 25 minutes, he loses the slogan outline and discusses Haiku and Reznikoff but comes back with some solid insights near the end.
