Poetry serves as the prototype for integrating our culture and our minds.
We need to put together things by retaining the identity of the parts yet
creating new wholes. Poetry has a desirable tension between order and
disorder in all of its dimensions--sound, image, and time. We need to
overcome the segmentation of the communities of discourse (e.g. the
disciplines} and that in the mind which reflects it. Individuals need to
rediscover integrations for themselves by which they would change
themselves and offer change to others.
