Poem "stlye"
1.)One of my questions would be to state the obvious: Why did the author not write "La Spirale?" Did he really plan to write a novel without a subject or did the idea of writing a novel without a subject instantly attract readers?
2.)In the second stanza in the third and fourth lines, why does HOWARD NEMEROV use the religious term "spirit" alone? Is he trying to make reference to the Holy Trintity?
3.) The sytle of the poem is that he wants to talk about nothing. But the juxtaposition of the ideas in the poem is the author truly ends up talking aobut something (that... being two books). Where is he going with his style as far as the subject of the poem?
