Spinozablue published another of Joseph Robert’s poems, Poem not in me, at the start of this month. The beauty of a poem is how an individual interprets it. The editor of Spinozablue, Douglas, added a short review of Joseph’s poem in the form of a tag: The Poem Inside. Poem not in me or The Poem Inside… the first is empty, the second full. Or, the third: the poem as a mirage, a fleeting moment that is ever on the horizon, ever evading being captured.
Interpretation – the first, the second, or the third?
