proximoception

this makes me wonder, what exactly is literature made of, that it can only limit itself. what is a quanta of poetry? Because no one's talking about opposites, no one's saying you can't like A and like B, which seems like it should be said -- poetry is a point of view and points of view necessarily exclude things. You can't follow Churchill and follow Stalin, it's impossible, though you can read Churchill and read Stalin. You can't follow Pound and follow Stevens. Even in the same school, I've heard it said that You can't like John Ashbery and like Frank O'Hara. but in our conception of poetry, I don't even know what to call it anymore except Bloomian, or Romantic, there are no two things so disparate that cannot be contained in a third. and the very act of reading is an assimilation of it with everything it contains and excludes. so what is the point of each individual point of view? What is a unit of originality besides currency for the poetic field?
