16.18: Poetry and the Fantastic
Your Hosts:\xa0Mary Robinette, Dan, Amal, and Howard
\n
\nFor the last seven episodes we've explored language, meaning, and their overlap with that thing we mean when we use language to say "poetry."
\n
\nIn this episode we step back to some origins, including, at a meta-level, the origins of this podcast as a writer-focused exploration of genre fiction\u2014the speculative, the horrific, the science-y, and the fantastic.
\n
\nBecause there is an overlap between language and meaning, and there are myriad overlaps among the genres we love, and as we step back we see poetry striding these spaces, its path in part defining and in part defying the various borders.
\n
\nPoetry, scouting the fraught borders between the kingdoms of Meaning and Language.
