IMAGIST
SOCIALIST POETRY AND OBJECTIVE REALITY

Poetry is the organization of the poetic images around
one one more theme as forming completeness according to imagist socialist
poetry. As it can be understood from this description, the main unit of the
poetry is poetic images, because poetry is an autonomous metalanguage developing
in natural language. That can be occured by deformig the syntax consciously and
reforming with autonomous system by poetic images. Poetic images convert natural
language, enlarge its borders and provide new expression possibilities.
A single word of the natural language has a fix, stereotyped
reflection at every person who percepts. So, a single word of the natural
language does not have the striking association property as a poetic image has.
Poetic images are established by making anology between “at
least” two or more words having semantic distance and the main mission of the
poetic images is providing a striking expression possibilty for transmiting the
meaning by association.
As poetry is written by poetic images and a single word
can not be a poetic image and a poetic image is established with at least two
words, the main unit of the poetry is poetic image, not individual words. So, we
can easily say that the poetry is written by poetic images, not individual
words. The words are like protons, neutrons and electrons if we suppose that the
poetic image is an atom. The compenents of the atom can not be found
individually in the nature, and they can only have a functional existence by
forming completeness to establish the poetic image. In the same way, the words
gain poetic functionallity in poetry as being organized to establish the poetic
image.
A poetic image is the subjective reflection of the
objective reality at the conscience of the poet esthetically. This artistic reflection
is not a one to one reflection as a mirror reflection, but it is the externalising
of the objective reality with percepting it and then transforming to a new
reality by the conscience of the poet.
As the poetic image is externalized by the poet, it is
added to the objective reality, so poetry and also all art works are esthetical
intervention to the objective reality with created new reality which can be called as artistic reality.
The externalized poetic image reaches to the conscience
of the reader as a part of the objective reality and it is absorbed by the
reader according to his/her conscience and esthetical perception level. So, the
poetry is reproduced at the conscience of every reader with differences and
this process creates awareness about theme of the poem and refines the
esthetical perception of the reader. Then, this poem makes a contribution to the
personal transformation of the reader and also to the other readers like this. So,
that poem makes a contribution to the social transformation according to its power.
Poetry is an artistic way to change the World step by
step as making contribution to the objective reality with artistic
reality.
