Response to Melissa Stubbs' week3 Pedagogy Forum, week 4


I also struggle with the concept of committed detachment. I believe it has everything to do with the inherent nature of most people to want to control. People want to control reality and being creative is all about relinquishing control. You kind of need to take a backseat and let your subconscious do the driving for a while. Then after you’ve “created” you can consciously construct your form, rhythm, meter, etc. Inevitably, your meaning will be inscribed by constructing what you’ve already created. It’s not so much a deconstruction to “find” the meaning. The meaning is already there. You just have to mold it into an appealing shape.
