Couldn't agree more. Seven Types of Ambiguity published as far back as 1930 by William Empson launched a school of criticism called New Criticism. A definition of ambiguity is then "alternative views might be taken without sheer misreading." For Empson poetry is heavily reliant on ambiguity. And, arguably, poetry is language at its most wrought with ideas most distilled. |
