Last week's Dead Poet o' the Week was Gertrude Stein. If Robert Frost is the king of Poems That Make Sense, then Stein's the, uh, reigning sovereign of Poems That Don't Make Sense. As the Academy of American Poets site states: "Her writing, characterized by its use of words for their associations and sounds rather than their meanings, received considerable interest from other artists and writers, but did not find a wide audience."Yup, that pretty much covers it when it comes to Poems That Don't Make Sense.
