SUMMARY:More Than A Manifesto: The Poet’s Essay
DESCRIPTION:Poetry as both a form and genre has many possibilities to ex
 ist within\; however\, poetry oftentimes has the burden to hav
 e an argument and a set of imagery and meanings that are pre
 conceived and placed within the poem. In this way\, poetry of
 ten gets conflated with writing a thesis or project\, and the
  poet simply the presenter of perfectly argued language. In 
 addition\, when poets attempt to bridge the gap between genre
 s and write within the contemporary essay form\, they are tas
 ked to construct perfect arguments there as well and avoid t
 he associative and aesthetic logic that makes poems importan
 t. The term essay itself was coined by Michel de Montaigne
  in the 1500s\, and it comes from the French word\, essai\, w
 hich means to test or experiment with what one knows as a le
 arning tool (and is in some opposition to the terms we use t
 o discuss the essay now\, such as thesis).
