In response to Lauren's post about Free Union, I also agree about the surrealism of the piece. I suppose that this is where I part with a certain level of artistic license. Sometimes I feel like pieces like these are so abstract that no one will ever really understand, on their own, the intent of the author. I mean you get the general picture, but at certain points one kind of feels like, "What exactly did I just read?" And I understand that pieces like these are meant to be subjective, but I still think that people presume overmuch when they look at something like this. Like I'm not too fond of William Carlos Williams. I don't really think that much about what he's trying to say by some of his poems. I think I would shoot far beyond the mark if I tried. But I think sometimes it's alright to admit that you don't have to completely understand something in order to appreciate it.
