- Abstract:
- This essay explores the meaning of Kenneth Burke's notion of the "poetic corrective" from his book Permanence and Change by examining the ideas of William Carlos Williams, a lifelong friend and frequent correspondent with Burke. Williams's poetry is also examined as a potential model for the "poetic corrective," which I suggest is what Burke might have had in mind for his coming corrective.
