Writing Attention Language

More From Jerzy Kosinski

There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry.
Writing Connections Poet
The earliest language was body language and, since this language is the language of questions, if we limit the questions, and if we only pay attention to or place values on spoken or written language, then we are ruling out a large area of human language.
Attention Body Pay
Humans are so innately hardwired for language that they can no more suppress their ability to learn and use language than they can suppress the instinct to pull a hand back from a hot surface.
Hands Hot Use
Poetry is the most direct and simple means of expressing oneself in words: the most primitive nations have poetry, but only quitewell developed civilizations can produce good prose. so don't think of poetry as a perverse and unnatural way of distorting ordinary prose statements: prose is a much less natural way of speaking than poetry is. if you listen to small children, and to the amount of chanting and singsong in their speech, you'll see what i mean.
Children Mean Thinking
In general, i would think that at present prose writers are much in advance of the poets. in the old days, i read more poetry than prose, but now it is in prose where you find things being put together well, where there is great ambition, and equal talent. poets have gotten so careless, it is a disgrace. you can’t pick up a page. all the words slide off.
Ambition Thinking Together
One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. they literally force the evolution of language. you cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. so if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. the great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. it boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.

Many people help construct our attitudes at a certain time and place.
Attitude People Stay Positive
One trouble with a kind of falsely therapeutic and always reassuring attitude that it is easy to fall into with old people, is the tendency to be satisfied with too little.
Attitude Fall Maturity
It was my father who instilled the “never say no” attitude i carry around with me today, and who instilled in me a sense of wonder, always taking us on adventures in the car, never telling us the destination.
