My youngest offspring Brokenbeat switched majors from creative writing to math mid stream. How those two interests combine surprised us all. He would love the fractals and apply them to his own poetry which is way off the wall sometimes. I'm working on him though. Mother's are like that.

My disaffection with that line of thought reached its zenith with students who thought analysis ruined poems. It can, if it's done badly or even at the wrong time, but it can also help make a poem more available to a reader. Can't we get past this dichotomous thinking?
