Poetry, Life, Literature, Lawrence Kimmel
Philosophy Faculty Research
The question and theme of the poetry of life reaches deep into the essential questions of human existence.

Only then can we hope to say something of consequence about the so-called “fine arts” — which may be misleading as a description. In substance, the reference “fine art” simply means useless art: “fine” as being free from utility. Art is imaginatively productive, it makes something, whether painting, poem, or partita. But this making has no independent utility, and its character as a work of art …
